Lifthrasil: Yes, it is. I was expecting a game like 'World of Goo' or 'Puddle' or something and was quite disappointed that it was RTS (which I don't like) instead. So, people interested in RTS tend to overlook this game and people interested because of the title will be disappointed, since "Grey Goo" doesn't exactly lead to the assumption that it is a RTS game. Bad choice of title, no matter how justified it is 'in-universe'.
You make a good point. Not only are those of us who like RTS games not attracted to it, but it cuts in the other direction too. Yep, you are right that the title might attract people who like different games only to leave them cold once they realize what the game is about.
