Because water games could mean anything. 

Maybe that’s why there have been pics of moldy graded games floating around? It could be that people think the games should be “watered”!

I think only American English would pronounce "Water" and "Wata" differently...ask a Brit, Kiwi, and an Aussie to say the two words and they'll come out the same.

Deniz told me on a podcast that Wata is named after the Bruce Lee thing and immediately I just said "Ah, racial accent humor, cool." They should just pretend that's not where it came from 

In this day and age, they definitely should deny the origins of the name.

Plot twist: fcgamer is actually working for WATA. The contract clause is that he has to act like he’s completely independent from the service.

it means "wata bunch of [insert a nasty word here]", which can be freely applied to the guys running (on) wata and to those using their service, depending on how you feel about it.
