Ubisoft Goes On A Domain-Name Bender

Game companies are generally pretty good at marketing their products, but they're equally as bad at covering up their tracks online. Time after time, games have been revealed ahead of schedule through the discovery of registered domain names. Ubisoft has recently picked up a big batch of URLs, but it doesn't look like they contain too many surprises.

As pointed out by Fusible, the domains include things like just-dance2.com, assassins-creed2.com, and rainbow-six2.com. In other words, the majority of these were clearly registered to thwart domain-name squatters from snagging the URLs. Still, it's fun to see them all laid out in a neat column*.

assassins-creed4.com
assassins-creed5.com

Skyrim. Nuff said. Oh and Fir- Nope! You thought I was gonna say it, didn't you!

That would be cool to see so many Assassins Creed releases. But, that's such a tentative way to assume there will be.

Aaw I clicked wanting to see something about a shining metal ass.

by Smidgens Friday, November 11, 2011 at 09:52 AM
