Actually, DMA is an acronym of Direct Memory Access. "Doesn't Mean Anything" was just a joke between the people at DMA. Mostly when people used to ask them what DMA stood for.

Same with DMA apparently being an acronym of "Dundee Modern Arts" as DMA/Rockstar North is from Dundee. It was just a joke that got spread around the schools in Dundee in the 90's and half the kids believed it, including me.

I don't know who started that one though.
