Didn’t they sell the rights to the game as part of their bankruptcy liquidation?

Repurposing an otherwise common term as a brand name for something not particularly related to the term’s original usage is a common trademark method. I don’t have any problem with Iron Maiden, a rock band, trademarking the term when used to refer to something music-related.

Closer to the Holy Roman Empire in the 15th century: each successor is elected by a council of elites. 

The wall is miles long. It’s only got a gap near the Eastern side, by the sea. 

Yes, in the year 2019, in North Carolina, once a person consents to sex, there are no backsies.
