Why "Geemu" is to be used instead of "Game"? "Game" is used on the internal name.

Because the title isn't 'ゲーム', and it's 'ゲエム'.

1. "ゲエム" is not a Japanese word on its own.

2. What's the phonetic difference between "ゲーム" and "ゲエム"?

3. This release is about a boy playing a game known as "Cursed Game/Game of the Cursed" "呪いのゲーム" (explicitly used on the back cover) which is said kills the player after 7 days of starting to play. "Nanashi no Game" would then make sense as a title (Game without Name/No Name Game)

4. Again, "Game" is used on the internal name "NANASINOGAME"

5. According to your argument we should use "Katekyoo" in #2414 because "かてきょー" is used instead of "かてきょう"

I have nothing further to say.
