Take-Two seeking control of GTAV.com domain name

4.4
Take-Two is seeking to gain control of the GTAV.com domain name, which is currently registered to a Spanish resident and listed as for sale.

Fusible reports that Take-Two has filed a complaint with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in a bid to take control of GTAV.com.

The domain name currently redirects users to the official Grand Theft Auto V website, although as recently as February 2013 it took users to a blog about the game.

This year alone, Take-Two has reportedly filed more than two dozen disputes over fake beta websites like gta5betacode.com, with the WIPO ruling in the publisher's favour on each occasion.

In July, Rockstar released a new GTA 5 gameplay trailer featuring almost five minutes of fresh footage.

Rockstar has confirmed a US and European GTA 5 release date of September 17 on Xbox 360 and PS3. The game will launch in Japan on October 10.

Scared_of_Water If the guy is selling it then why not buy it, it will be a lot easier.

t will be loads of $$$$


not like they can't afford it


Why waste money when you can just ask the government to hand it to them?


I don't think it would be exactly handed over, maybe if they win a claim against it, then the domain would be handed to them.

I do not understand why they want that domain so bad. I think they would be fine with the ones they already own.

Yea but the seller might raise the price if they know Rockstar is buying

Yeah! Why would they not own it! That would just confuse customers!

If I were making a game and planned on sequels I would buy tons of domains.


It's just logic really.


They probably didn't buy any so people wouldn't find out about the game before they wanted us to, remember all the leaks about the Xbox one domains?
When a company like Microsoft buys a domain people see and start ringing like alarm bells...


I know its crazy
