NotTheNameWeWanted
The End of An Era
It is with a touch of sadness that we let you know today that we will be retiring both NotTheNameWeWanted and NotCoD.
This means the games will no longer be available to buy on Steam. If you own the game already, you will continue to have access to it to download, install and launch, so never fear - the ridiculous hand-drawn antics will live on forever in your hearts and your Steam library.
We want to thank you all for everything over the last 7 years. We never in a million years expected that so many people would connect to such a stupid idea. We’re not sure if that says more about you or us. But thank you. Thank you for our first unexpected experience of community, for the laughs and for the thousands of dollars you raised for charity.
Don’t worry. This is just the beginning.
Your pals,

Our Game had an Identity Crisis...
The game itself is still the same ruthless snake-like parody set in Britain's green and pleasant lands it always was, complete with shonky hand-drawn graphics. You can still play as Daffyd, Darren, and former British PM David Cameron in this short, satirical tour of the glories of the UK's M4 corridor. And it is still the same easy to play, hard to master, addictive, hilarious and cheap cult hit game it was. So nothing has changed. Except the name.
So, to summarise, the game formerly known as "NotGTAV" is now called NotTheNameWeWanted".
If this announcement has left you positively bursting with legality, here's a list of totally legal things to do:
-- Invade a Middle-Eastern country for their oil wealth.
-- Host a children's show or star in a popular American sit-com in the 70s.
-- Move your inherited riches to an offshore tax haven
-- Put the kettle on.
-- Take the kettle off again. It looks stupid on you.
-- Capitalism.
Finally, we would like to point out that NotCOD, our much better follow up game, and winner of the "Funniest Game That No-One's Ever Heard Of" award for a second successive year is also available on Steam, and, to mark the event of the name change, both these games will be available at 75% off from this Friday for the whole of next week. And they were already cheap to start with...

Spokesman Kenneth said “We wanted to get a jump on things and see how much income we will have in five years time when the pound is worth about a quarter of its current value.
“While other software companies may not be equipped to deal with the upcoming economic carnage we are testing all our systems with this stupid sale.
“As well as bringing the price of each of our games down to less than a quid, this sale should pretty much finish us financially as a company as we’ve had a terrible year and have now officially run out of milk.”
Aficionados of all things NotGames may be entertained by the regular content we upload on YouTube and FaceBook. These are specifically designed to keep you entertained during the long wait for us to make another game.
