Why is game dev tycoon called Russian Roulette 2 in nvidia control panel?

If you go to modify 3D settings on nvidia control panel the game is called Russian Roulette 2 (nw.exe) for some reason? Is this an easter egg or some kind of bug on nvidia end?

The GDT app is called nw.exe in the game's folder. The Nvidia app is reading that and determining that nw.exe = Russian Roulette 2. I'm not sure how it goes from point A to point B but I think this is a quirk of the system Nvidia has in place to say a particular executable is a particular game or app. This happens with some other games too.
