First of all I say hi! Smiley
It's my first post on this forum.

A month ago I quitted my day-job (small gamedev company) and now I have limited funds to start my own business (gamedev related too). Going this way I want to start blogging to share knowledge and personal thoughts. Registered web domain name is www.gamedevordie.com (site in construction) which means that I have to make (good) games or die because of lack of money.
1. What do you think about the name?
2. Is the grammar ok? (I am not a native speaker. I don't want to offend anyone by this connotation.)
3. Is the meaning of domain name clear for you?

Kind regards!

Everything is fine, except for one recommendation I have. I would create a redirect to the normal site with the first letters of each word capitalized, and I would advertise the capitalized version of the domain. Not only is it a programmer's habit to use this notation, but it's more readable to the uninitiated. So IMO it would work better.

Example: www.GameDevOrDie.com

Edit: Nevermind the redirect thing, web domains don't need capitalization. Just advertize whatever seems clearer to you.

Thanks, man! The small thing, that can change everything (or at least a lot!).
