    The game is called beamng.drive...but the website is beamng.com...

    Why not register a domain at http://(www.)beamng.drive and move everything over there?

    (is there some stupid thing I'm forgetting? Please mention it...)

    .drive is a valid domain suffix. But it would probably not be worth it and the devs own beamng.com for however long.

    Good idea though, would be cool.

    well now there's a lot more then just driving, now there's flying, and more stuff to come I'm kinda thinking that they may just change it to BeamNG without the .drive

    I don't know though.

    because drive.com is already taken? (most assume '.com' goes on the end??).

    You could do drive.beamng.com or beamng.com/drive, but I really don't see the point of changing it, it's already using a accepted standard.

    I'm not saying beamng.drive.com, I'm saying http://www.beamng.drive, with .drive as the domain suffix. I am aware there are other things in the game other than driving, but the game is already in the format of a web domain.

    as already stated, that is not a valid domain name, and would never work, not only that, but the name of the game is Drive, not BeamNG, the physics engine is called beamng (and the devs have stated that they eventually plan to license the physics engine out for those who want to use it on there game)

    Yes, but it can't be just that. If you're going to keep pushing this please read up on it, a domain name must end in one of these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Internet_top-level_domains

    Actually, now that I looked into it more, it is a new one coming this year, but it's not out yet and who knows how much it would cost. And again, it does't really make sense as BeamNG is the company and Drive is just a game name (and likely not to be the only product from BeamNG).
