As ridiculous as Mojang would sue Betheda for using mine or craft in their games.

That is a desperate attempt at making money.

Morrowind was nothing more than a clone of Daggerfall with better graphics, Daggerfall was nothing more than a less buggy version of Arena, it's really no different than how any other companies games evolve. (DICE and their BF series is a good example)

Stop being naive ppl. Bethesda isn't stupid, mad or anything at all. It is just another strategy for advertising their games/company.

And their lawyers need something to do when they aren't busy enough. Why not give the marketing department a hand when they have time?

Wow, Bethesda suing Mojang for a word? A ton of games have stole minecrafts idea in general and Mojang never Sued

Scroll. SWEET JESUS THEY SUED ME.

I'm pretty sure Edge Games sued EA and Edge Games lost.

It seems everyone does not know the story... bethesda's LAWYERS did this after Notch tried to copyright the name "SCROLLS"

This happened bcause those stupid lawyers thought it'd get people confused. They told Notch to change it, he said no, as they have "The Elder Scrolls" trademarked, not "Scrolls".

But still, how stupid. Bethesda is gonna lose anywho.

Where does this ***** live?

Maryland, rock out with your cock out.

Srsly?! Scrolls is a normal word(Not some fantasy word that Bethesda have made up), it cant be copyrighted. Suing Mojang for this isnt a very good idea.

All Bethesda wants is money and attention. I completely unneeded for the suing. I mean, just because Mojang used a word from the name of a game, doesn't mean for anything to happen. If Bethesda has a legal document saying she owns this word, I'd like to see it.

xD You've gotta be kidding me.

it'd be like Apple suing a game called The Golden Apple where you pick trees for called apples. Seriously why even negotiate with her? taker her to court Notch will win!

You guys have got to be the dumbest bunch of people I have seen in 1 group. its NOT BETHESDA GAME STUDIOS. Its the ZENIMAX & BETHSOFT (not BGS) Lawyers, Zenimx & BethSoft are the damn publishers and OWN BGS. Bethesda isnt doing anything o stop being morons and learn the whole damn story

How is that fair? DO YOU OWN THE WORD "SCROLLS", BETHSDA? IS IT AGAINST THE LAW TO EVEN HAVE THE WORD "SCROLLS" ANYWHERE? I DON'T SEE YOU SUING SPORE FOR HAVING SCROLLS IN THEIR GAME!!! I DON'T SEE YOU SUING CHINA FOR HAVING SCROLLS!!! I DON'T SEE YOU SUING THE INTERNET FOR HAVING THE WORDS "SCROLL UP" AND "SCROLL DOWN"!!! ARE YOU GOING TO SUE THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE FOR HAVING "SCROLLS" IN IT NEXT?

Oh, and one thing after my rant...HARDLY ANYONE CALLS THE ELDER SCROLLS, ELDER SCROLLS! Usually most people call it "Oblivion" or "Skyrim" or what game it is. I was thinking of buying Oblivion, but now, NO WAY AM I PAYING A CENT ON IT.

Oh, my. Looks like they've got a cork up their ass. You can't own a word, that's just not right. If you could, people could sue for anything. I'm not sure that they can even win this lawsuit, it seems idiotic that they'd go through such lengths to hurt an Indie gaming company. Either way, I hope it doesn't affect Minecraft or any of the other games that Mojang may produce. It really is a shame that people become so greedy that they're willing to sue over a word. Bethesda, you should learn a lesson from all these people who commented on here. What you're doing is not cool. Not cool at all. You should probably go **** yourself and forget about suing Mojang, they're cooler than you, all day, everyday.

Honestly, Bethesda is stupid. Why don't you start suing anyone named Beth because people might get a game confused with a lady that lives in Florida. I live in China. "Chan" is the most common family name there is. No one has ever gone to the government trying to sue everyone who has the same family name as them. Or how about this: Imagine if the Yogscast started suing everyone that is named Lewis and Simon. Or maybe your relative suing you because you have the same name as them. And as far as I know, no war has been started because of some stupid name similarities. I mean, do they expect World War III to start because England, Scotland and Iceland complain about their names being similar?

dear Bethesda you just made it on my list
and for da record ill be making the game ill call Elder Scrolls which will be a ping pong game and ill look and see if i get sued *troll face*
but really bethesda? shame on you and you shall recive no more of my money.

i shall take up the challange and send millions of spawm towards them (insert evil cackiling laugh here)
