It's not optimal, but he must choose between every published game there and one fanpage.

Besides that, there are so many websites with copyright content that never changes the domains, is just the domain registration bad or why they just disabled the domain?






It's not optimal, but the registrar had to choose between every registered domain there and one business.

But yes, no doubt, that system is broken and the registrar should have known better.


I don't know the company size, but as a paying customer I expect them better support and more time.

If they have a customer like steam would they just cut off the domain? Probably not.

Other domain registrations would just ignored this and nothing would happened.


> I expect them better support

I expect total ignorance from a typical domain registrar.

Take a look who is they registrar and then look their prices up.

Yeah, they would totally ignore their customer just like that one did.

Unfortunately, providing proper support and protecting own customers in digital realm is an unsustainable business practice for most registrars.

So, in case anyone is interested, their registrar is MarkMonitor Inc., with a pricing of "contact us". The only pricing info I could find [0] said that it's 20$/yr for a .com, but with a minimum spend of 10k$ (probably reached by using their other services, such as the stated purpose of monitoring of trademarks).

Last time I have heard about them it was $5k/y.

It's not optimal, but the domain registrar must choose between every domain they have and one that is causing trouble.
