Activision registers enough Call of Duty domains to span decades, generations

16 May 2010

Clearly Activision intends to tug the Call of Duty teat until it’s nothing much more than a withered, desiccated pouch on the bloated belly of corporate interest. Bobby Kotick and his coterie of soul-sucked, bloodless revenants have been filing domain registrations for the franchise like it’s going out of business. Which it’s clearly not.

The guys over at Superannuation have dug up registrations including www.callofdutyfuturewarfare.com, www.callofdutywarfare2.com, and www.callofdutyfuturewarfare2.com. Yes, really. Then there’s also www.spacewarfare2.com (presumably The Search for Space Warfare 1), www.spacewarfare3.com, www.secretwarfare2.com, and www.secretwarfare3.com. But wait, there’s more! That’s www.advancedwarfare2.com and www.advancedwarfare3.com.

Oddly enough, there’s no registration for www.spacewarfare.com nor www.advancedwarfare.com, although there’s a pre-existing www.secretwarfare.com domain owned by a Norwegian company unaffiliated with Activision. Quick, there’s a cheap, dirty, and immensely ironic opportunity to make some cash here.
