maybe company is a bad word for it...

more like a project group, or collaboration.

Yeah I think it's cool that people team up to make projects but why call them companies? These groups don't have commercial interests. I think it would be more appropriate to call them crews or clubs or unions or something else.

I agree. Those would be better names. Most (or all) of the "companies" on Scratch are based on Crank inc, the first one, so they use Crank inc's word for it.

ok, i understand how it's like a group, but i just don't get why they call them "companies" or have a "inc." at the end. It's kinda dumb that way
