By this point, everyone should know about their company and experiments and zombies and shit after the GOVERNMENT had to NUKE an entire town. And the whole "business decree taken away" and "stock prices plummeting" They shouldn't even be a company anymore. Modern day internet would have a shitfit and SJWs and leftists would be shitflinging this company for even attempting to come back. Even if it is a different company, why on earth would you name yuourselves after such a company?
Wyatt King
They got their PR person to go out and call zombie attacks fake news
Parker Smith
Just by shuttering the company and reopening under a new name. See when Blackwater changed to XE and then changed again to Academi.
Dominic Mitchell
zombies are a chinese hoax and cause autism
Landon Fisher
Eh, Maybe the BSAA changed themselves to umbrella for some stupid fucking reason.
Levi Cooper

Isaiah Morales
why did people care about Blackwater again? they're a fucking PMC. They don't have to care about what the public think
Justin Green
Because it's a shit game with even shittier writing and direction.
Tyler Adams
Because RE autistic bitching nonstop about muh Umberlla.
Levi Morales
>They don't have to care about what the public think
To an extent they do. Their mercs were hired by the military to supplement US forces in Iraq and to guard diplomats. Due to their fuck ups going public and mounting pressure, the military stopped hiring Blackwater (and their later newly named successors).
Julian Ross
it's the Umbrella Corps with faded paint which is different from the Umbrella Corp. from RE1-3 though I don't know why they adopted "corporation" on the helicopter
Ryder Bailey
Because if the public eye is on them, that means there's an audience for news regarding them, which means reporters will start hunting for their dirty laundry and air it in the open, which means organizations will want to distance themselves from the PMC, which means less money.
I used to see shit about Blackwater all the time, but I ain't seen shit about Academi yet. Could be that they've learned to play clean, but more likely they're become much better at covering their footprints.
Logan Thomas
Spot the RE6 babby
Daniel Allen
I think they mostly cleaned up. They cleaned up the board of directors and leadership with ex-Bush, Clinton, and Obama senior leaders and stand up generals so I think they cleaned up most of the shady shit.

Colton Jackson
I would think that everyone and anyone is crazy about zombies, even if in a fictional world. Even the slightest mention of "yah this company has been making zombie stuff for like wars and stuff" would have everyone's eyes on them. You'd be hardpressed to ignore the badassery of it, or the ethical standpoint if you're a fag. Why can't an electric company today call themselves Enron?
Cooper Jones
Memes won't save your shit Michael Bay game.

Jack Jones
They're a mercenary unit called Umbrella Corporation.
They hire themselves out to various companies and powers who want to claim research data and BoW's from the likes of Umbrella/Tri-Cell and Neo Umbrella. There's a huge black market war going on for Bio-Terrorism after the events of RE6. But companies that want to get their hands on these things cant risk sending their own guys because of PR. So mercenary groups like Umbrella Corporation came along to do the grunt work. They called themselves Umbrella Corporation because they knew it'd be such an attractive name for the kind of people looking to hire them.
HUNK is rumored to be on their squad and Wesker was revealed to be alive and well and in command of the team. He makes sure to get samples from everything they recover. This is why people think that "Chris Redfield" is a credits red-herring and it's actually just a codename because Wesker is a dick like that.
All of this is canon and can be found from playing the campaign mode of Umbrella Corps along with the Resident Evil mango. Why Capcom made their multi-player shitshow essential canon going forward is anyone's guess but here we are.
Jaxon Watson
Reboot. Or rather, they slapped some RE references on a generic SonyVR demo, and now they're figuring out how to tie it together
Connor Martinez
More likely they called zombies "alternative facts", and that zombies are actually a disease of peace.
James Allen
Let's be honest here. Ethan is Wesker. A revived version or kid of his at the very least.
It's why he was never infected once the entire time, why he can reattach his limbs (even if it also requires the medicine to speed up the healing process), why he can use Wesker's gun (and why it was in bumfuck nowhere in the first place), and why Umbrella would go out of their way to rescue him.
Charles Price
>Ethan is Wesker
He might be A Wesker, but he isn't the original. Umbrella Corps had D.C. Douglas back to voice Wesker's lines.
Mason Scott
He had those hallucinations caused by the virus though, so he should've been infected.
James Hughes
Thing is he wasn't though, and he never got the black shit running up his limbs that normal people get when they're infected. So he probably has some version of the virus, or is Wesker's biological kid which gives him immunity.
Michael Evans
>It's why he was never infected once the entire time But he was. He could see the little girl. That meant he was infected. He could reattach his limbs because of the strong healing item. Read the description. also one of the notes tells you the medicine only works on the infected.
Ryan Fisher
There are notes telling you multiple different people had different reactions to the virus. some people died in a few hours. some lasted a few days. All of this happened in a night. Nathan was a lucky one. There is a note of people who have died and turned to the virus in the first few hours of the game.
