This kind of makes sense they have been using the term uncontested for a decade now.

Its surprising they haven't taken the trademark earlier.

Yeah, I read the headline and thought "they hadn't done that already?"

Feels like this is made in an attempt to get outrage clicks, but I'm pretty sure the show has a legitimate claim to "The Game Awards" as a trademark.
