WHOIS for steamcommunity.com and steam.tv
Why do those two domains have hidden WHOIS while steampowered.com has proper registration to Valve Corporation?

Why does it matter

They probably hid it so that here wouldn’t be massive speculation on future feature because they registered a domain

It's probably because it's Akamai Network who is behind registration and handling of the domains.

Steam Store uses Akamai too, and their WHOIS says Valve.

Steampowered was created in 2000 the other domains 2006 or later, something probably change in those 6+ years.
