Oh, well. That's a bad sign. :/
What is a good studio naming tradition aside from *insert name here* Games or *insert name here*-soft?

I don't think companies can trademark specific words. They can only trademark names they came up with, e.g. Zelda, or phrases, e.g. 'Final Fantasy'. But not a word like 'epic'.

Some other commonly used words: ___ Studios, ___ Productions, ___ Works, ___ Team, among others.

As @Matseb2611 said, a company can't really trademark a specific word. They can trademark a name (like Apple did with Apple), but not a word (so not 'apple'. Btw. some companies have already tried to trademark some ancient words, but they failed). Bethesda is just being completely stupid here.

In past there used to be a huge conflict in Civilizations (the desk game vs. the pc game), which is why we have Sid Meier's Civilization btw. But there are not that many huge conflicts around trademarked names.

Also, EpicFILE is unique enough. There are millions of names out there, you can't really bother with it anymore, since not too many will remember it anyway.

Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design...
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
