Which Capitalism 2 Add-on name do you like better?

Our tendency is to use the name "Capitalism Lab", as it better conveys the experimental, continuously evolving nature of the game. If we don't see overwhelming responses that preferred other names, we will go with this name.

So the add-on will be continuously evolving?
Isn't it aimed as been stable one day or another?

I can't believe the project won't be shut up ever. How long (minimum duration guaranteed) are you sure you will sustain the improvements?

The plan is that we will only put it on sale when it becomes stable enough. When it is still unstable, we will keep it in the beta-testing phase and nobody will be charged for playtesting the game during beta-testing.

Then the 'Capitalism Lab' could suit the unstable version, whatever it is.
Each stable version would have to have other names.

This naming system is used by the Debian Linux distribution.

How about Capitalism Evolution? As In real life, Capitalism keeps on evolving, as the true pioneers keep pushing the boundaries of there industries that they own or buy into.
Also Explains that the Capitalism game is evolving with each addon. Capitalism Lab sounds abit, geeky, a bit 1990's, Sorry. Mitsubishi do well off the EVO badge and the've now made 10 cars from the same basic design that they started from.
Just a thought.

I have added "Capitalism Evolution" to the poll.

I think because its an Cap 2 Addon, there should be a hint about the second version of Capitalism. Maybe the press would be confused if a game which looks like Cap 2 is called Cap something without mentioning the second version.

In my opinion an suitable name would be:

Capitalism 2 - The Lab Edition

I vote for Lab

Unlimited and City remind me of simcity
Empire has the sound of a wargame
Evolution just doesnt sound "catchy"

But I do agree that "Lab" may not suit the game when it's released
I dont have any of my own suggestions yet, but if I do, I will post it

I do agree that Capitalism Lab may sound a bit geeky to people who are not familiar with the game.

On the other hand, we are taking a new approach with new development and releases with Cap Lab, as described in the previous posts. So the name Capitalism Lab may fit its nature, despite its downside of having limited appeal to new users. Until we have a better name (which you may continue to suggest), we will stick to Capitalism lab.
