How do you say Leadwerks?

[catch22]

Okay, I'm famously known to mispronounce everything. I have a long list of comical mispronunciations, and I realized, I'm probably saying this one wrong too. But then there's lead, like the metal, and there's lead, as in, to lead.

 

So I've been saying "led-works" but I think it's logically said "leed-werks"? To lead work? Why would it be Lead, like the metal?

 

So which is it!?

[AggrorJorn]

At first I said lead as in leading to victory. But then josh told me it was pronounced as led as in led light.

Wow, I actually got it right the first time?

 

I think the gear in the logo is what made me think about the metal.

The true pronunciation is actually a series of tongue clicks and guttural growls. Unfortunately, if you were to hear it spoken aloud, your brain would explode.

where did the idea for t name come from?

[Josh]

True story.

So the company name is inspired by a brewery in Siegen,Germany or the one in USA?

Nice beer foam shader ;-)

[josk]

More like the name was inspired after drinking those 5 pints of strong German beer.

I just realized Josh says the name multiple times in the intro video on steam. Duur.

 

Either case, the discussion turned to beer, so it's obviously a win.
