I still don't get why developers didn't buy it back in 2010 and redirect it to bitcoin.org.
The domain bitcoin.com has already been purchased by an unaffiliated entity prior to the bitcoin whitepaper being published. Roger Ver initially bought it over in 2014, long before BCash existed. He leased it out to the OKCoin exchange for a while, before turning it in to the scam site it is today after the BCash fork. He is unlikely to sell it anytime soon, as using it to scam newbies in to buying hisdying shitcoin continues to make him money.

They're so pathetic. They've named "Bitcoin" the bitcoin cash and "Bitcoin Core" the original!
Not the first time and won't be the last. They know their coin can't stand on its own (lack of) merits, so their main marketing target is to disguise it as a different coin - bitcoin - which is actually useful, secure, and hasn't been successfully 51% attacked.

especially if they look at the price.
Man. I hadn't looked at the price of BCash in long time, but it is dying. The whole month of November it has just been hitting new all time lows pretty much every day. I remember selling my forked coins for almost 0.2 BTC each - now they are worth less than 0.015 BTC. That's an almost 93% decrease, and continuing to fall.
