I called my Company Bman Games but no one seems to agree, is it possible to change a company name once it's been put in?

Do you really have a company, or you just pretend to have one on the Appstore?
Where do you want to change it?
On the appstore or in real life?
If you want to change your company name in real life, ask your attorney and/or the office, where you registered the company. It will cost you a bunch of money probably.
If you want to change the name of your pretended company on appstore, ask Apple.... but in this case....who the f*** really cares, how it is called?
If you registered on the appstore as a company, you still have to provide all kind of real company papers.
If you registered as a private person, you will be releasing your games under your name. Just add the fantasy company name to the field "copy right owner", when you upload the game.
Then it will look like this:
Seller: John Doe
Copyright: myfakecompany LLC
Maybe it wouldn't be bad just to take the name you registered your website with, e.g. myfakecompany.com or something like that.
People make up "company" names all the time.
I think, not even 10% of Appstore sellers have a real company, but they have names, like "SuperDuper Games" and the like.
"myfakecompany LLC" was made up by me. Meant to be a placeholder for your made up company name.
I think, you can't use LLC at all, if you have no registered company with that name.
I would prefer, if you couldn't even use made up names at all, which suggest a company name. I would make it legally actionable.
