OMG, you people are relentless.

No matter how many times you plea, no matter how you ask, no matter the bribes; the good people of LDW will not come on this tread and tell you what the game is like, or if it has insects or people or plants or fish or aliens. Why not use the waiting time for thinking of what new types of games you would like to see made in the future?

No, I don't think so. All the other game sites are in the format of "html://www.ldw.com/GameName.html", not the format of "http://www.GameName.com/". This makes since, because it signifies that they are probably only paying for one domain and one server.

And . . . a lot of things are parked. There are companies that make money simply by parking every name they can think of, so that when someone wants the domain, they already own it, and can sell it to them.

Yeah . So the website is http://www.bugtycoon.com
But there is no game called "Bug Tycoon". So the same website will
appear .

Actually, I've never been to those sites. When linking from the LDW's main page, LDW.com, the link was http://www.ldw.com/fishtycoon.html or a variant of that. I didn't investigate further than that, so I guess it's my mistake.

I still think Bugtycoon's being parked is not a sound indication. I just looked up several random URLS. Every single plain-english URL I tried to look up was reserved. (I left out several sites that I tried that were already websites.) Two of them were advertising the domain that the page was on as being for sale. Never once during this process did I hit a domain that wasn't registered. Among the URLs I found reserved were:
  • randomsite.com
  • nonexistent.com
  • watchthehair.com
  • butterflytycoon.com
  • cattycoon.com
  • puppytycoon.com
Parking of un-used domain names is just too cheap and too common for me to put much faith in the reservation of the domain name being a hint to what's coming.

Try butterflytycoon.com also. I'm sure LDW has parked more than a few over the years for safe keeping.
