Gears and not God of War deserves the acronym GOW.

Which in a sense GeOW works, no?

Sure. Except it would be "GEOW" since we don't need to write the "e" in lower case, and then you also run into the problem of people thinking you're talking about Geometry Wars. So how do you solve that one?

 

Also that when making an acroynm it's actually grammatically incorrect to use words such as "of" in the acronym.

If we want to be technically they should be argueing over which game should be called GW.

 

I definitely agree with you there, but as I've come to find, that's not always how it works. For some reason, many acronyms, initialisms, etc. sometimes contain the initial of words such as "of", "and" and many others I would never put into an acronym I create. Usually though they are merely included in backronyms since it's nearly impossible to make a backronym without using those types of words.

An example is EPCOT-Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow. I don't think it was a backronym either but I can't be sure.
