Name similar to another game

[Hakase]

I do not like it when some developers release a game similar to a large game of other developers, and call it a similar name.
It makes me a little angry.

If someone didn’t understand what I’m talking about - another game is called Outer Worlds

It can happen. Anyway, I can see worse things than just having the games with similar names, and that´s if somebody makes a reboot of same game or sequel with same name as previous game, because good luck then when looking for info about all games from series.

And anyway both sides (Mobius interactive and Obsidian) aren´t aggressive like Bethesda, who sued Mojang for using "Scrolls" name of one of their game.

Outer Worlds began development in April 2016. Outer Wilds began development in 2012. The games are not very similar aside from being in space, and Outer Wilds did not "steal" the name as the post implies.

How did you even find this ridiculous thread to bump?
