Basically, Notch was emailed an offer to buy game of the year logos from Ziff Davis Inc. Ziff Davis owns 1UP, IGN, UGO, and PC Magazine (as well as some other non-gaming properties). They also used to publish Computer Gaming World, Gamespy, and Games for Windows Magazine.
Lock if old.
Edit: Just to clarify, Ziff Davis is not selling the award itself. They are selling Notch the right to use their "...Game of the year" logo that includes their name.
