I know it wont make a differance to the outcome - but I have taken a vow to not buy Zenimax related material. If Zenimax decides to grow up (and yes I know my actions here are childish) then I will concider voiding my vow.
Zenimax it sadens me that you would get up in arms over something so petty, it reminds me of a todler trying to claim the whole sand pit and attacking any todler who steps foot in it.
Oh and yes I know no one of importance will ever read this and I know that it will not change the situation - But it does make me fill a tad better being able to voice it somewhere.
oh yea after watching the teaser for scrolls I can definitely see how zenimax think you could confuse the to.
All joking aside, it's kinda obvious you can't really compare either. They look nothing alike, play nothing alike. Everyone calls elder scrolls either by Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind, Oblivion or Skyrim. Not once have people called those games by the name before it and it's kinda stupid to patent each individual name. :/
Normal developement after it releases and minecon? what does that even mean? more stuff to be added after the game? Wouldn't that mean the final release of minecraft isn't the final build of the game if he's just going to add more?
And where was this stated? It was my understanding everyone who bought the game before final release got all updates to the game permanently. I highly doubt notch would charge for additional content to anyone even after the release.
I thought the only advantage was the price of the game, everything else is standard.
He clarified this in a blog post shortly after the game went to beta.
Alpha account holders paid the same as beta account holders.
The difference is that while beta account holders have free access to the final release of vanilla Minecraft, they must pay for additional DLC updates after that. Alpha account holders have these for free in perpetuity.
The real issue will be multiplayer. I'm going to reason that everyone on the same server needs the same updates installed. So if you want to play on a server with your mates, you must buy the relevant DLC updates.
Some of the cost of certain DLC updates is to compensate community developers of popular mods like Aether, PhoenixTerrainMod, and BabyAnimals. With a modding API, the idea of submitting your mods for content updates and being reimbursed through sales of the updates, is a possibility.
The terms of the Alpha Beta thing are clear. Alpha get's all updates free. Beta doesn't necessarily. Mojang is legally obligated to provide all updates free to all Alpha buyers. The change for Beta was because for super huge major updates that change everything they would like the option of charging a nominal fee. Most content I predict will still be free, they just wanted to release a legal tether.
@spherical block
stop with your christian fundie ****,there is no god.
People could say the same to you and your disbelief. See how that works. In other words people can choose who they believe in or not believe in. On that topic though, there is more evidence of the old testament being real then science proving their is no God.
Anyways, @Snip3ris, thanks for answering my question. Good to know. I was confused on that statement.
I heard part of the issue is that Bethesda's legal representation is a bit eccentric and don't exactly speak for Bethesda. It's the marketing department they represent.
Man, I'm glad I bought -and stuck with- Minecraft while it was still in alpha...I can still remember my first world...way back when there were hardly any mods and people we content with the way Minecraft was...
"I remember when an hour was that of a day, back when the drops of youth filled my body. Now, an hour is merely a speck of sand; hard to keep together, always slipping away in my hourglass." - Myself
I don't believe I've ever said "elder scrolls" in my life. Always Oblivion or Morrowind. This would be like Gene Roddenberry suing George Lucas over use of the word "star."
So when he says fix the code .......I hope this means it wont lag like crazy on a system more than capable to run it . Poor fps performance is ruining minecraft .
Why exactly is everyone so upset that Mojang may charge for extra content?
When you buy a game, they don't give you any extra DLC, do they? Sure, some may, but a lot of the time you must pay extra for it. You should be happy that, because you bought BETA, you get the game for cheaper than what it's actual release cost will be.
Congratulations, you got one of the best-selling games in recent history for cheaper than everyone else will, when it's actually released.
i have a requst please could you send me a moded version of the minecraft file to my email at [email protected] and please preferably the planes mod would be nice
so the Final version of Minecraft is going to be 1.10? or are they going to leave us with the 1.9 pre4 till the final 1.9.10 release? O_o i really hope not...
also if the final release happens to be 1.10, should everyone assume that 1.9.10 will be released on Oct. 17th or 18th?
Thank you, and have a good day fellow Minecrafters! :smile.gif:

What I meant is that Bethesda's legal department does not accurately represent Bethesda, and are almost entirely seperate.
I have 2 quibbles with your question:
1)That's just a bit off topic
2)Download a mod and do it urself it's not hard.
also if the final release happens to be 1.10, should everyone assume that 1.9.10 will be released on Oct. 17th or 18th?
