I think more people are willing to back an independent developer than a multi-million dollar game company. Besides, how can you prove that you own the word "Scrolls" and that others can't use it in a game title? I honestly think that this is some serious BS and maybe even a publicity stunt although I don't think Notch would go for this kind of thing.
Kinda stupid because no one has copyrights to the word scroll. its a normal word. its like sueing me for having "Dark" in my username.

I should copyright the word 'the', then I can sure every book, movie, and video game using that word. Kidding, kidding.
Trademark, you mean. You can't copyright a word. Otherwise, people could go aro
und copyrighting, and in effect, tabooing words for use anywhere on anything without consent. Imagine a world like that.
You can't copyright single words but you can trademark them individually if they are part of a trademarked IP. And it's not about using the word in common language, it's about using the word as title of a franchise in the same entertainment medium. That is where the claim becomes legitimate.
what douchebag's are they just gonna sue anyone who uses the word "scroll" in thier game title? wait how about the scrolls of the elder huh? notch is making a game that invovles cards/scrolls Cards scrolls are the medivals paper and cards why doesn't elder scrolls **** off and leave notch alone

Is Bethesda just afraid that players are gonna get the games mix up and buy Mojang's game instead of theirs?

Well, "App Store" could mean either "App Store" or "Apple Store".
