It's still unrelated AFAIK. From what I remember, the owner refused to sell the domain, and then asked Valve for a huge fee that they refused to pay. So now the domain is just unused.

That's what happens when you name your project after someone else's domain. A usual part of starting a project now is picking an unused domain name.

		Using a dictionary word for your project will never be easy, but what often happens now is to just not get the .com domain (Likely taken), or prefix with "get" and then later hope that you can time it right so that you can afford the clean .com domain...but not be famous enough that the buyer would want to get some crazy amount for it.
