Am I missing something or are you just sharing some trivia?
Co founder of Sega died recently and the topic of how the name came about was brought up. Assuming this is an extension of that.
Yup
It came up earlier, so I thought it would be interesting.
You fool! Do you not realize that these acronyms are secret messages meant to disparage us chuds?!
...
Sorry. It's great trivia though. I didn't know how, well, somewhat sterile and "clinically corporate" some of these acronyms actually are.
There was a period where inserting basic English descriptions into branding was trendy, I think just because english fluency was exploding at the time. Same reason shirts that saying something mundane like "I love hats" sold like hotcakes.
So Service Games might sound incredibly dull to us, it probably sounded cool and exotic to people at the time. Or maybe it was cringe to the general public, like all the silicon valley bros suddenly naming things with hindi words thinking it's cool and spiritual.
Looks like it but I'm not sure, gonna need more evidence
