At least it's not Wolfire. Lugaru's just a game, that's a company.

It's a French word, of course people will want to call their stuff that. :wink:

Plus, everyone already knows about it.

Well, everyone who's been here for longer than so-and-so units of time and reads the forums regularly.

I vaguely remember a few separate books called Lugaru, also.
It sounds cool and means werewolf, who wouldn't want to use it?

But yeah, if they made a game/company/whatever called The Wonderful End of the World even, that had nothing to do with the original, then I might be surprised.

I can see people calling things Loup Garou, but Lugaru? That's almost too coincidental.

Lugaru isn't actually the phonetic spelling of loup-garou. In reality, the 'ou' makes a slightly different sound in French than does the 'u' in Lugaru. That's why I was so surprised to find this.

'S right.

In any case, Lugaru > Lugaru.

...wait...
...rephrase...

Wolfire > Loup Garou.

I saw someone with the account name "Lugaru" on another board once and actually asked if he was David. He wasn't. :oops:

...and? The name isn't copyrighted AFAIK, and that company has been around longer. In addition, their staple product is a text processing-editing program, not a game with anthropomorphic furries running around doing kung-fu.
