A video game domain name and 24 other end user sales — Sega buys

Sega among notable domain name buyers over past week.

There are a number of notable end user domain name sales on GoDaddy/Afternic’s sales list from the prior week.

First, Sega bought DawnofWar.com for the video game title. Video game firms often buy names of existing games when they’re ready to ramp up the franchise.

Second, two departments of U.S. states paid fairly notable prices for four character domain names.
