POLL - Should MAGIX change the name?

Should Magix move forward past version 13, what do you all think about changing the name, and giving a clean start?

Personally I think that Vegas is a TERRIBLE name for my favorite software. It doesn't give any indication of what the software is for. Is it a gambling program? Is it a discounted buffet? It is at least the name of a city that half the population loves, the other half hates. Further, Vegas is certainly not known as a Mecca of film or TV production.

Since they are in the business of figuring out what to do with such beloved software, I'd say they should re-think the terrible legacy name.

Also it should be cross platform if they want to be taken seriously in production circles.

Resolve and Premiere (not necessarily better names on the whole) are both cross platform.

I never liked the "vegas" name (also because when you google for tips/tutorials you end up in other stuff).
Having said that, already few people know about it, discarding a name would mean investing lot of money in advertising and marketing, doesn't make sense.

Magix Vegas or something like that would mean new product with a legacy.

If desperately need a new/different name and keep some name sounding heritage:

"VEGAX"

All listing are showing tutorials for the software itself.

Magix won't' change a well known/ recognized brand name, why bother?

All that is going to change is the version number.
