minus-square@mic_check_one_two@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglish3•25 days agoA squatter is why Valve used steampowered.com instead of steam.com. The owner of steam.com (who has owned the domain since the early 90s!) has consistently refused to sell to anyone, and has never stated a specific reason why.

minus-squareEbbyAlinkEnglish1•24 days agoI think Nintendo wanted to buy my domain ages ago, but pretended to be some little rando interested in a site. The MX server’s IP address was Nintendo address space and a game they soon announced had the same initials as my domain. Probably could have made some money, but also glad I didn’t sell.
