"fact of the matter"? you have data about that? or did you just make it up?


even if it was so... so what? some mossbacks don't get to enjoy a fun application. who cares?

Dear Lord...

It's named ******** Bingo because that's what the developer WANTED to call it.

If you're just so damned offended by it, then DO NOT INSTALL IT! Problem solved.

Alternately, you can write your own app, and call it whatever you want. Some suggestions:

Flowery, touchy feely, let's not hurt anyone's feelings, Bingo.
It should be such a clean word world bingo

Bah. I just woke up, and I can't think of any more touchy feely nice names, so those are my two suggestions.


Get over it.

This seems a highly illogical argument to me - or what will you yell when winning the game? :rolleyes:
You can download the game, unpack it, rename, repack and reupload - the joy of open source. Names?
  • Gosh Darn Bingo
  • Okily-dokily-doo
  • Zitface
I fear the thread should be moved into the Off-Topic section :D

Sorry. Won't load this because of the name. My two cents.

Me too. Buzzword Bingo seems like a good name for the app to me. But stick with BS Bingo if you want.

Data: 3 users in this thread alone have stated they will not load it due to the name. Do you have data proving the statement is not true, or are you making it up?

maybe you'd be happier on an apple forum, where you could dictate what users can and can' do.

Isn't the game free and open source? Not really sure why the developer should care if people don't like the name

It's illogical to say load it if you want, I'm not going to? Maybe you should join bennie on the apple forum

the only reason would be if he wanted the widest possible distribution. other than that, there's no reason at all.

Maybe you should join the apple forum, where there are lots of censored apps?
