How come "O" in Osu isn't capitalized?

Awwe come on. It's been half a year and I'm still not used to it. I find it annoying, especially when it's installed on my computer with a path of c:xxx/xxx/osu!.

Who else thinks it looks really off?

Right click osu! folder, Select "Rename", type "Osu!"

Isn't cool enough to have a signature.

That's because the game is called osu!, not Osu!

Doesn't bother me that it's lowercase :p On that note though, it bothered me for a while that Xfire had osu! listed as "Osu!". Took quite a bit of requesting and etc from myself just to get them to change that...

When you read the "o" in "osu!", move your face closer to the screen so it appears bigger, then pull your head back as you read the rest. Works like a charm.

I second this. It may be too awkward if they did capitals on their words...

We therefore conclude that peppy, for some reason, just hates capitals.

I thought uppercase was better until one day I kept pressing the Caps Lock on. From then onwards I screwed uppercase letters. Small o looks okay....

@OP

osu! is a game that uses many different elements such as many moving objects, scoring, tablet input, taiko and ctb gamemodes, online multiplayer and chat feeds, etc. that make the game work really hard. As such, there had to be cutting back involved. Because the game is so finely balanced, peppy had to resort to removing something he hoped nobody would notice, the captial O. The combined reduction in both file size and rendering from the decreased letter sizes allowed the game to continue working.

That and if we force it to change to "Osu!", the world will probably stop spinning or something like that.
