Why is this of significance?
Who said it was? It's a filed trademark. Nothing more or less.
An article was written about it, so I assumed there was some significance that I was missing. I wasn’t being rude; I was genuinely asking.
Gotcha. Considering the timing, it might mean we will see more about it during the Xbox/Bethesda showcase. Other than this, there hasn't been any other news about the game.
