At what point does the game Xcom become involved... That shit has been around forever, and is definitely very close to X.com

    That’s… not how that works.
    The brand isn’t "x.com" either, it’s "X". They don’t even use x.com as a domain.
    Even if it was x.com, a video game being called Xcom wouldn’t be close enough to the website x.com to be able to be confused. It would be different if they both were websites.

    They do plan to switch to the x.com domain and already own it.
