Why do people keep mentioning that Bethesda is doing the suing? It's Zenimax, their parent company. You can't exactly judge the whole thing going by the word of Notch anyways. I have no doubt that he'd act goofy for fans to make them think he had solely good intentions. Zenimax is trying to protect a word, like how DC and Marvel have "Superhero" trademarked, that has been a part of one of Bethesda's major game series. Just playing it safe.
i saw a video on youtube about the scrolls thing, and minecraft fans were hating on bethesda, but what people didnt know was that zenimax was. :tongue.gif:

Things like this are a good point, too. More evidence that the initial lawsuit was focused more on hegemony and less on any actual area of concern. I wonder if Bethesda was even required to give their approval for the lawsuit to move forward. These parent companies can get quite "uppity" when they even suspect another squirrel is after their nuts. What I'll really find interesting is, given the very wide bridge between gamers who play Minecraft and gamers who will most likely purchase Skyrim, how many early sales is Bethesda potentially losing because MC fans will wind up feeling more loyal to Mojang after this? Zenimax may be peeing in their own boot to try to save water.
