Pipe puzzler returns on PS4 and Switch One of the most amusing aspects of old-school game development is the WGAF? mentality when it came to naming video games. While today’s publishers pour hours and hours into titling their wares – wringing hands over the amount of words or letters used, and holding focus groups over where the chosen title plays in multiple territories – gaming’s formative publishers seemingly slapped a name on the design document, then broke for lunch....
