To me potato.app is as sketchy and shitty as getpotato.com. They simply say "I wanted to buy potato.com but I couldn't"

Is steampowered.com sketchy? Even incredibly large companies often can't get the domains they want because they were bought twenty years ago by some Joe Schmo.

steampowered.com is super sketchy. It's just that most people use the Steam client and it's been around enough time for it to sink in.

Like if an app tried to register apppowered.com it would definitely hurt its image. Obviously massive players are above the rules somewhat.
