This has kinda struck me as weird for a while.
I mean I guess it makes sense, but it's just another word for "games." And it doesn't seem like something that could be used to ONLY refer to games, yet I never see films or books referred to as titles.
Yet in press releases or the like, you see "we have plenty of new titles coming this year," or "we are planning a new title in this popular franchise." I guess I'm just wondering where did it come from and why is it used specifically in this industry? Or am I missing stuff and it's used plenty in other industries?
