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*.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
