- barbs 2y agoYeah but in all those cases, it's clear from the context that they are distinct from coffee, snakes, and oxidation.
- atherton33 2y ago"Snake 3d" would be more analogous here. Sure snake means something outside of computing, but it's also a famous piece of computing history (like Dune II) for which "3d" also makes sense as a suffix.

- Krasnol 2y agoYes they do, and they are unfortunate as we can see here many times over and in this case it is a currently popular franchise which also had some games and this thing which has neither something to do with the franchise, nor with a game or with sand dunes falls into the same pattern. I doubt anybody would care if they'd named it after some coffee sort or a snake, where nothing of the above applies. There are not many Café games, for example.
