After redesigning its own website, HallPass Media the entertainment network has launched CookingGames.com – the domain name that sold for $350,000 in January at Noktadomains and caused many to question the reasoning behind the purchase. Maybe because the fact that CookingSupplies.com only sold for $2,500 in 2006 or that other game domains had sold for far less – but it was a no brainer for Bill Kara the CEO of Hallpass Media who paid $100,000 for the domain StickGames.com and is on track to quickly turn a profit in months.
Bill didn’t have sticker shock. Hallpass Media doesn’t buy and park, the company buys and develops.
CookingGames.com like many of the Hallpass Media properties is a casual gaming site. And casual gaming is a high growth market, with big money that attracts a mass audience.
Google even opened up their wallet recently to purchase Labpixes, a company that develops casual games – including applications for the Android phone.
Hallpass Media’s newest site lets you play games where cooking is a big part of the game. From the CookingGames.com website:
