Minetest is more popular than SuperTuxKart, SuperTux, and OpenRA. It's about the same as 0ad
Minetest and Veloren are actually pretty close now in the last 12 months. Minetest was much more popular than Veloren before that. We don't have an open collective but if we did from the start we would have raised more than that. Veloren is very good at the marketing side of things, the name definitely helps for that
I guess the good thing about this whole debate is that (from my understanding) we are talking about changing the name of the engine. Minetest the Game can remain as it is. It can just be called Minetest even. The traffic from these search results won't vanish. It will just save us the confusing and boring introductory "Well, achkually, Minetest is the engine, Minetest the Game is the game."
It just allows the two to have separate identities. Like Duke Nukem 3D and the Build Engine, not Duke Nukem and Duke Nukem the Game.
