id Software knows all about video games and domain names.  The game development company with iconic brands such as Wolfenstein, DOOM, and QUAKE that have become part of gaming history will be releasing Rage, a first-person shooter and racing video game, in 2011. 

With the hype of E3, surprising the name didn’t sell for more
 
Over a week ago Sedo reported the sale of the domain name Rage.com for $49,999. 

The sale, which went unreported by most major news sites in terms of the sale, including technology blogs, was reported by domain industry blogs like Domain Name Wire.

And it looks like the company acquired the domain name just in time, as Rage has been leading the pack of E3 Game Critics Awards nominees.

The nominees for this year’s E3 Game Critics Awards — a group of awards voted on by representatives from over 30 of gaming’s most esteemed publications — has been announced, with Rage garnering the most nominations, including ‘Best of Show.’

id Software owns and operates domain names for their other blockbuster games like Quake.com and Doom.com. 

In 2009, ZeniMax Media, acquired the legendary studio.
