..and not Aurora 8.
Sure switching the implementation to another language and more modern platform was a big thing. But it is still the next major release of the same game. Some people who never coded and doesn't frequent the forums much probably doesn't even know what C# is.

It's a total rewrite, so it's not the next major release.
-
Because Aurora 2 dropped over a decade ago :)
-
Same reason we say "steel beams" or "ice cubes," to specify what it's made out of!
(And I doubt something like Aurora III is ever gonna stick, but if it does.... I was first![1])

What happened to windows 9?
Wheres the Iphone 9?
Why isn't Teslas next car the model 4?
Why didn't microsoft name C# C+++ ?
-
That last one is very very cursed.
-
Technically it would be C+=2.
Also no windows 9 because 3rd party windows devs where extra lazy with how they did version checking.
-
They could have called it windows 09+XE NEXT
-
Because arguing over whether it's pronounced C hash, C sharp, C number, or even Captcha (?) Aurora is fun.

Though I must remember "C plus plus plus plus"

Everyone knows it is C Octothorpe

Because God (Steve) has decided so.
And who are we to doubt God's word?

If by "3rd party windows devs" you mean Microsoft themselves. Checking for a version string starting with '9' was the official way to detect a DOS-based 32 bit Windows.

Exactly. That would be heresy. FOR THE EMPEROR.

Because creator of this software (Steve) calls it Aurora C#. If you develop program (game) you will give it a name. When you will have a child and give it a name, everyone who knows him/her will be calling it by name You given to him/her.
Why do we have to call you "Bughunter" at this forum? I think we should call you "How developer dare to name program something else than I want" (and this is sarcasm).

That is of course the one that cannot be argued against :) But I always saw C# as kind of a development project name, like (P) marker, and expected it to drop eventually. But guess it stuck now.
