What's Going On: Lawsuits, Creeper Cars
"Scrolls" Lawsuit, Pt. 2
Notch feels he has a solution to the pending lawsuit between Mojang and Bethesda - a Quake 3 tournament! He provided the following stipulations:
"Three of our best warriors against three of your best warriors. We select one level, you select the other, we randomize the order. 20 minute matches, highest total frag count per team across both levels wins.
If we win, you drop the lawsuit.
If you win, we will change the name of Scrolls to something you’re fine with."
As of this writing, Bethesda has not responded to the challenge.
Creeper Car
Mojang employee Daniel Kaplan tweeted about a rather interesting discovery - the ability to customize a Holden Barina with a creeper-themed paint job! As of this writing, "The Creeper" holds the #1 spot for popularity in custom designs, so feel free to head over and vote it up some more!
If a war between two countries could be settled by a game of Quake, would you still say it's immature?
to day we fight to the death!!!!!!!!!!
i hope bethesda loses horribley
Works
Yes, I would.
Solving issues with games is immature.
and so, i rest my case. stupid lawsuits deserve stupid offers. i'm not saying i agree with notch's decision, i just don't think bethesda has been all that mature over the matter, either.
I think some people suffer from this idea that games are not a legitimate art yet. There is nothing wrong with using games to settle things. Just like there is nothing wrong with other mediums competing using their mediums. Doesn't an artist in a rivalry fight through art, by trying to achieve a higher quality and competing through their work. Why should game companies be any different? I mean, I suppose making and playing are different things, but again, I'd think that one would have to be fairly knowledgeable about the act of playing if they're making games...
if Bethesda loses: LOLOLOLOL BETHESDA SUCKS AT GAMING THEY SHOULDNT MAKE GAMES BECAUSE THEY SUCK MINECRAFT MINECRAFT MINECRAFT!!!
if Mojang loses: TOTAL BS THE GUYS AT BETHESDA TOTALLY CHEATED THEY SUCK **** LOLOLOOLOL THEY ARE SO STUPID AND SUCK AT EVERYTHING IN LIFE!!!
I'm positive this is what they will say, if Bethesda even agrees to this.
I would pay a billion monies to see the match!
Also, why isn't the creeper car getting any attention?
Solving issues over a simple game rather than a lawsuit or a war is far from immature.
"Hey guys! If you choose to fight for us, we'll give you a nuke which doesn't hurt allies!"
I'm pretty sure that will happen too. If Bethesda agrees with Notch, I will have respect for them again, whether they win or lose.
Why?
