About 3 weeks ago, we wrote about the sale of the domain name GameGlobe.com by Marchex for $50,000.
Today the buyer emerged and it is in fact a gaming company who has HUGE plans for the domain.
The buyer is German online games company Bigpoint, who laid out its plans for GameGlobe to Gamasutra.com
“Gameglobe, a brand new free-to-play game platform that throws players into “limitless game worlds” directly through their web browser”.
“Gameglobe is an action adventure game first, and a set of game creation tools a close second. Players can begin by exploring the various developer-designed worlds of Gameglobe, with 3D environments ranging from medieval fantasy settings to more futuristic jetpack-driven storylines.”
“Once a player has seen enough of what the development team has to offer, he or she can then switch over to the user-designed levels and worlds and tackle a seemingly never-ending supply of content, or even try their hand at making their own levels. There is a heavy focus on this user-built content, as players can create and share their own games, worlds and environments with other players.”
Bigpoint has a partner in the project and its a company by the name of Square Enix a maker of console and PC games.
Sounds like a cool, capital intensive idea. Looking forward to trying them out once the site is ready to roll.
Now all you fixed priced fans would have priced that at $4,880 lol
