Dont Starve Multiplayer Title

[Duckwark]

Once I heard that Don't Starve was getting multiplayer, I was overjoyed. But the released title bothers me. "Don't Starve Together" is not only a mouthful, it means the opposite of what the update is about. If this marketing move is intentional (due to the game's wacky theme) I applaud them for such a subtle play on words, but I fear the majority of players won't think about it. That is, of course, if it was intentional. 

You would think that the title fits the update, "Together" = multiplayer, right? That is until you realize the game's name is a warning agaisnt doing something. Having this multiplayer update titled "Dont [verb] Together" seemed a bit strange to me.

 

To remedy this, I suggest changing the title to "Don't Starve Alone," which encourages surviving together.

 

Besides, it sounds better, doesn't it?

I'm fine with the current title.

Also, the reasons you have proposed that people may walk away from it excites me.

[Vanderer]

Eh. I think the title fits the rather kooky yet morbid theme of don't starve. Rather tongue in cheek, as it were. Certainly dark, but with just enough of zest to acknowledge how zany it can be.

This has been suggested before, and I agree. Don't Starve Together sounds like a campaign.

[BeargerKiller77]

I think the title's fine.

[Morgan17]

I think the title's fine.

Agreed.

I remember somewhere SethR or somebody else said they initially thought about using the name "Don't Starve Alone" but decided against it because of possible communication.

Can't they just add parentheses?

(Don't Starve) Together

Don't (Starve Alone)

Beautiful, and completely marketable.

Don't Starve Together, Starve Apart.

 

nah, just overthinking it.

Don't Starve, Together

[MilleniumCount]

Co Starve or Don't Starve^2

Also Don't Starve Together sounds like Drawn Together, which would be awesome! DST

Don't Starve, and Don't Eat your Partners/Buddies Leg.
