> game.zork, games.zork, com.zork. All of which is owned and controlled by a single Zork Corp.
except that there can legitimately be more than one Zork Corp (let alone Zork Enterprises, Zork Inc, etc) so this does not eliminate confusion

And only one of those can own zork.com today, so the issue still applies. The same first-come-first-served rule applies, but without the added confusing of having zork.{com,net,org,biz,bz,co,co.uk,...} all mean different things.
So, one will get zork, one will get zork-enterprises, one will get zorkinc, and so on.

but you can have zork.com.uk etc.
it's very easy to end up with conflicting names, and any global naming scheme that you create will have problems dealing with the conflicts. There's nothing inherently wrong with any option, it's just a question of how people end up using it.

Strictly speaking, to avoid confusion the DNS namespace should probably be divided up according to trademark domains, i.e. zork.games.pto.us, or by corporate registration, i.e. zonk.corp.md.us. Then it would be up to the PTO and/or the state to ensure unique and non-confusing names within their respective domains. The UN or WTO or similar international organization could manage a TLD for the truly international domains. Finally, we would need a place for personal domains, perhaps under each ccTLD based on citizenship.
Besides the ccTLDs and a small number of international domains (.intl or .un, .wto, etc.) there would be no other TLDs.
