On May 16th, Activision announced a new internal studio branded as Elsewhere Entertainment. In its blog post announcing the news and launch, the company linked to the studio homepage currently located within its Activision website.
More recently, it would appear, Activision acquired the Elsewhere.com domain name. Elsewhere.com now forwards to the internal Activision.com landing page for Elsewhere.
There have been many times I visited a domain industry website and thought of an idea that would be helpful. On occasion, I’ve taken some action and gotten in touch with a decision maker to offer a suggestion. Off the top of my head, I don’t recall seeing anything implemented (yet).
I received an email from Spaceship this morning announcing a new service called Unbox. You can read about that offering on the Spaceship website.
What caught my attention in this morning’s email is the section about growing together:
I just received an email from my Account Manager at GoDaddy announcing a new round of private auctions featuring GoDaddy-owned inventory. At the end of 2023, the company also auctioned hundreds of its own domain names, including two that I won – Posto.com and DogSitter.com.
While the fact that GoDaddy is running another auction with its own inventory is somewhat notable, something in the email caught my attention:
“GoDaddy is continuing the momentum by hosting another auction event to gather more feedback from investors before potentially opening the doors to other domain sellers.”
The bold emphasis was added by me.
James Jean reported that he sold the Open.Network domain name for $100,000. He shared the he was the original registrant of the domain name, and he held it for ten years before selling:

Congratulations to the buyer. 10 years as original owner of this asset. Domains are the original digital asset class- outperforming.
