    Because I know how to pronounce acronyms.
    And so, Akatosh revealed himself to a young Gaben, and granted him purpose.
    "Grant them Steam sales," he commanded.
    And obey, he did.

    I usally pronounce acronyms as the letters rather than the "word" it makes. There are only a handfull of ones I do pronounce as words.

    This provoked my thinking about previous games. I guess for me it depends on the amount of letters or the awkwardness of the "word" it makes.

    I say EE ESS OH for this game.
    For LOTRO? lot-row (some folks said low-trow) was a lot easier to say than EL OH TEE ARE OH all the time.
    DAOC? Day-ock, like some folks said was just too silly/awkward. I said each letter.
    etc

    None of your examples are acronyms. An acronym by definition is a collection of initials that form a pronounceable word. Just as a matter of interest, how do you pronounce LASER?
