Which is the exact reason a newer game had to be renamed, as it copies the name of an older one?
There is absolutely nothing dumb in that.

There's literally more than 1 game named Yomi, and they're all older than this one, by your logic then there should be only one named Yomi, yet there's more, and I'll give you examples:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/287960/Yomi
https://www.xbox.com/it-IT/games/store/trek-to-yomi/9MTCRVZQN3GV
So why is it that both of these games are up but this one had to be renamed? (at least the second one should be renamed since the first one came out in 2015 while Trek to Yomi came out last year).
"There is absolutely nothing dumb in that.", my guy yomi in japanese means underworld you can't copyright words, literally everything about this is dumb.......
So either do your research and give me an explanation that makes sense, or don't talk at all.
"Yomi" and "Yomi Hustle" are much closer to each other than "Yomi" and "Trek to Yomi".
If I would hear Yomi Hustle, I would think it's a sequel / spinoff to Yomi card fighting game from 2015.
If I would hear Trek to Yomi, I would think it's an unrelated trademark.
You can disagree with me of course, and demand objectively verifiable criteria to be able to tell what is a trademark infringement and what isn't.
And this is understandable.
But as far as I know, the only institution that can determine that is the court, because as we can clearly see in this conversation trademark similarity is a very thin ice and it's very debatable what is an infringement and what isn't.
I would imagine that the author of the game is not willing to bother with potential court case, or Steam is taking measures to prevent potential conflicts in the first place, relying on their subjective vision.
And this in my opinion is very understandable as well.
I don't think it's worth a conflict that will not benefit any side and only drain their limited resources.
Yomi is also made by a very small financially struggling indie studio who I don't think would be very happy to be dragged into this.
