It may sound like I'm against changing the application's name, but I'm
not: I'm against changing it for a weaker name. The name should be
short, catchy and describe well the application, unfortunately no other
name suggested so far did all of these better than GNOME Games (GNOME
Video Games is too long for example, making it sound dull IMO).
Flatpak for example is a really cool name, it's quite descriptive while
being short and catchy, and it allowed Jakub to make an awesome icon
out of it. If a name as good as this one is proposed, I'm not against
changing.

Why? We have a @gnome-games package group, not a package; is it not
possible for a package to have the same name as a package group?
No, not because of the group, but because we used to have a
gnome-games
package in Fedora in the past. We've now got other packages obsoleting
gnome-games and the old package is blocked in the build system and so
on, making it slightly more complicated.
Nothing that can't be overcome of course, but I am sure a new name
would
make it slightly easier in other distros as well, along the same
lines.
