These are quite different circumstances though. Bethesda were trying to apply their trademark in an overly broad way to an unconnected game, whereas the makers on your site are using Mojang&#x27;s exact trademark to sell unlicensed goods based directly on their product. Had Bethesda actually taken Mojang to court it was debatable which way the case would go, although on balance most opinions I saw went with Mojang. In this case it&#x27;s very much more clear cut.
