just curious :razz:
 
In this case...games.com
 
say them outloud, and it becomes clear that games.com is like 5 times better than game.com
 
I agree with alldig and draqon on this one.

Products usually work better as plurals: costumes.com, domainnames.com, gifts.com, paintings.com, gadgets.com, pills.com, flowers.com, etc.

Exception would be where the singular form is commonly used to refer to the items in bulk: candy.com, coal.com, medicine.com, fabric.com, chocolate.com, artwork.com, software.com, beer.com, etc.

Words that describe fields are generally better as singular: business.com, mythology.com, sex.com, music.com, photography.com, military.com, etc.

The golden rule is, if you asked someone "What do you sell?" or "What are you looking for information on?", what form would they use?

Does that store sell game or games? You looking for information on game or games? Do you want to eat candy or candies? What do you need to study, philosophy or philosophies?
 
Games.com gives you better scope and scalabilty, imo. Game.com sounds like something you do in the jungle with helpless animals.
 
namedropper, your post made me laugh out loud! Very funny but true!
 
game is a computer games company actually
 
I PREFER THE SEX.GAME BUT I LIKE THE OLYMPIC.GAMES ALSO
 
Games.com by far!

"I am game for games"

"What's my game" you ask?

Actually I am tired of playing games...

If you sell or are about game (hunting kill) then game is your name.
If you sell electronic games, then you ought to go with the plural.

Cheers!
 
Games is a fair game I guess
 
Most of the time the plural gives a sense of choice (multiple products or services) whilst the singular shows contraint.
