Why not "HOMM6" but "MMH6"?

I am pretty sure this question has been asked before... copy right issues?

Corporate lack of wits issues.

They should have done this "renaming" starting with H5, not H6. And I do think it is necessary to differentiate the new Ubisoft series from the old NWC era.

About the time HoMM5 was released, they decided to rebrand everything in the M&M multiverse under the "Might and Magic" umbrella. (thus we had Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes, for example.)
Indeed, the expansions to HoMM5, if you look at the boxes, are MMH5 (plus the subtitle).

To appeal to a larger audience. Might and Magic Heroes sounds better than Heroes of might and magic. I'm sure you veteran homm players disagree with me but it's all about first impression.
Heroes 6 would've been an even better name but the Might and Magic brand still makes sales.

"Might and Magic Heroes" sounds awful compared to "Heroes of Might and Magic" to a native english speaker like me.

@ Mirez, I don't think you should embarass yourself by writing that the shifting one word to the end of the title will "appeal to a larger audience."

Thanks for the explaination. Might and Magic: Heroes VI sounds good.
