From what you tell, the problem remains even when you don't _see_ that it is made with GameStudio, because they will _ask_ you...
That's true, And this is exactly why Gamestudio A7 needs a new brand identity. This bias against the engine is absolutely a misunderstanding of people who hear the name. There is nothing to suggest how powerful a tool it has become, so the name will always bring A5 and "Big Rigs" (not even 3sgs) to mind.
Give it a new name, at least for A7 Pro, so that people won't make the association with the older versions. The changes between the two _engines_ (not editors) are so vastly different, there is no comparison. They're completely different products under the hood.
At least with Lite-C, you can simply answer "it was made with C and a middleware rendering engine" and leave it at that.
This is why Ray Dream Designer (with a poor, outdated reputation) is now called Cararra (up to date, greatly improved over RDD, better reputation), and why numerous products are re-branded after significant changes.
