Choice Provisions sounds like a food distribution company.
Not only it sounds like a food company, they couldn't even get their website to be [url]www.choiceprovisions.com[/url]
I can understand wanting to move on from the Bit.Trip series, but geez that's a bad move.
These aren't the same people who made War Thunder, are they?
If they aren't, I can imagine why they'd be so eager to change their name.

I thought of them too. Those are Gaijin Entertainment

A small explanation is necessary. Quoting [URL="http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/135117-BIT-TRIP-Dev-Gaijin-Games-Changes-Name-to-Avoid-Racial-Slur"]The Escapist's (poorly titled) article[/URL] on this:[quote]For a little background, the word "gaijin" comes from the Japanese "gai koku jin" - which translates to "outside country person," or foreigner. When you drop the "koku" from the middle of the word, gaijin takes on the literal meaning of "outside person" or "outsider," and is considered an offensive term by many foreigners living in Japan.
The term is controversial and is avoided by Japanese television broadcasters. To put it to you this way - as a foreigner living in Japan, a Japanese person would never call me gaijin to my face, unless he was looking for a fight.[/quote]
With this in mind, it's easy to see why they'd want to change their name from "Gaijin Games".
Why they'd want to change their name to "Choice Provisions" is a completely different story, and I'd love to see the list of names that they turned down before settling on [i]that[/i].

Why choose it in the first place then?
Is it just a name change or they registered a new company to avoid some taxes or something ?
