Changing Developer and Publisher name

[DutaDoge]

im just curious, if you release a game on steam, can you change the developer/publisher name later after it released on steam?

this doesn't answer your question exactly, but I would presume the same logic extends to changing developer/publisher names. I found this info here https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/gettingstarted/faq

Q. I changed my legal name (and banking and tax information). How do I make this change on Steamworks?
A. We will have you re-onboard and create a new partner account in your new name. This will result in entering banking and tax in the new name as well. Once this is complete, we will have to send documents terminating the old company’s rights to the IP and move the games over from the old to the new company. Please use this form to contact us and provide us with the Steam account name that you wish to complete the digital paperwork.

7 Years and no answer. Steam asks you "Do you wish to make this game under [FULL LEGAL NAME] so ppl are gonna google lol.

That name will never be public anywhere, here's what you do:

1) Just click yes
2) Under "Store Presence", go to "Edit Store Page"
3) Make a community group under the name you want to use (explained here: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/creator_homepage)
4) Put in that group's name on your game
