Similarly, the acronym MUD came from two people (Bartle and Trubshaw) and was the name of a particular game, not just a type of game. You're now using the title of that specific game to describe a whole category of games, most of which bear very little resemblance to the original MUDs. And yet, I've never heard Dr. Bartle complaining.

How is RPI any different, except that it's a generic term rather than a specific game name (ie it's not as if someone is running around calling a bunch of games 'Harshlands' as a generic term)?
