"Scrolls" Lawsuit Goes To Court
The original debate started when developer Mojang decided to make the working title of their new CCG-like game "Scrolls", which prompted software publisher Bethesda Softworks to respond, citing potential confusion between Mojang's Scrolls and their own Elder Scrolls franchise.
Some time into the proceedings, Notch offered to settle the dispute with a friendly game of Quake 3, a challenge which was not answered. The proposed solution was intended to ease any potential PR incidents, and provide an amicable solution to the dispute. The challenge went unanswered, and legal proceedings continued unabated.
This reminds me so much of Bethesda's other on going lawsuit over the Fallout MMO with Interplay... They must really have the diamonds to shell out for multiple lawsuits--or just underestimate Mojang's legal capabilities.
What about the high amounts of money they have? What is bethesda going to do? Bribe the judge?
I'm not completely on any ones side here, though I do see Mojang having the edge.
It's like the big bully pushing you down in elementary school. Sure, you can push him back and start a fight you're probably gonna lose, but it's probably better in the long run to get up, brush yourself off, and just walk away.
