It’s probably nothing, but I’m super glad that there are gaming sites out there that burn lean tissue going over stuff like this so we can speculate as to what it might mean.
Superannuation specializes in going over domain and patent registrations from the big companies and noticed that Microsoft has recently made two purchases for domains that seem shady to say the least. The sites Sony-Microsoft.com and Microsoft-Sony.com lead people to think that there might be something going on between the two biggest competitors in the console gaming world (Nintendo doesn’t count…that fucking shovelware company). I won’t speculate as to what this means, but it’s just interesting to know that a giant multinational corporation is buying up Internet real estate with names like that.
I sit upon my throne as the owner/shogun of this site, WatchPlayRead. But it wasn't always so. I too have had blogspots, I've done other community blogs, I've even written professionally for other sites out there...yet none of them provided the content I had a real passion for.
It is then that I became tired of being a small cog in a big machine, and of writing about nothing but game news after game news article and the periphery that comes from such schlock, like knowing who Michael Pachter and Bobby Kotick are.
I decided to start MediaWhoreNetwork.com and ran up my post count there for about 2 years, commenting about any and everything that I wanted to. I even started a weekly podcast that I feel has come into its own.
It wasn't until earlier this year that I realized that having the word "whore" in your URL might be a bit limiting to my potential audience. I then made the website and its branding move over to WatchPlayRead.com.
