The ‘.game’ domain extension officially opens for business

Good news for game developers around the world — the “.game” domain extension has officially launched for anyone to register.

The Internet has seen a flurry of new top-level domains (TLD) beyond the likes of .com, .net, or .org, a movement that was spurred when ICANN first revealed plans to extend things back in 2011. This has meant that companies can buy their very own unique “closed” TLD, such as what a certain Internet giant did with .Google, but it has also led to a bunch of industry-specific domains, such as “.florist” and “.game.”
