Including people names is retarded... anything can be a people name somewhere in the world.

Places and brands, though, is reasonable.

If someone tries to use proper nouns when playing scrabble with me that person will no longer be welcome in my house!

How does brand names work? NZXT is a brand name. ZT is a fucking brand name. How is this going to NOT destroy the game of Scrabble? Does it have to be a WELL KNOWN brand? Who decides what constitutes being "well-known"?
