Is "Maata Games" on drugs or something?
Coming up with a name like "Erectus" is like asking to be trolled endlessly.
But.. that may actually have been genius, there is hardly any need to advertise since a name like that will get around whether you want it or not.
"they are forced to share the world with Homo erectus"
This one is practically asking for a scandal. ^^)
