notch will send his army o creepers and skeles

WTF really? its the word "scrolls" BIG DEAL
you can't just own the word "scrolls"

What the **** I was foing to get skyrim as well that is god damn cruel.

So if a want to name a game "The Duty Begins" i will get sued by call of duty? This is nonsense.

I just hate how big companies take evry opertonaty to get money.
I want to see the document that states that she owns the word.
'elders scrols' is whats copyrighted not 'scrols' so I think bethesda is being
very childish.

Bethesda is being a beech.

Scroll's is a WORD. You guy's never made a game called scrolls, Bethesda. You made something with the word scrolls, but sorry, no money from suing mojang, cause you don't own the word scrolls.

Seriously?I just mega facepalm'd.

which btw is the name of the sieries not the game i mean which is mir realistic og ets go play the elder scrolls or omg lets go play obiveon

well for your information guys they are getting sued for trying to make the word scrolls copyrighted so no one can take the name of there upcoming game but since Bethesda already has The Elder Scrolls its their lawyers job to ue them because it would make it illegal to continue making The Elder Scrolls games without mojangs copyrights interfering. Its not Bethesda's fault really. Its just a copyright conflict. If they made more words than just Scrolls it would easily pass by.

cant tell if trolling or just stupid

as others have said before you can own a word.

People, please, calm down.
I get that Bethesda's lawyers are having a field day suing over the word 'scrolls', but do you think any raging on the internets is going to help? I see big business getting over confident, and this usually leads to a loss of fans and drop in sales. Elder Scrolls, Scrolls, so they share the same word. Big whoop, most games have similar titles, there are only so many words in a language. 67 pages of people having a fit on the MINECRAFT forums won't make much of an impact on this case. I say we get behind Notch, and help him out, and no, I do not mean spam his Twitter.

That's like sueing a game called Mine Mania because has "Mine" from "Minecraft" on it..

Man, I was totally developing a game called, "The Scrolls of Eldar." Guess I'll back off now.

Seriously though, the fact that Bethesda sent a C&D letter shows that they see this little indie game as a threat. So in a way, it is a back-handed compliment.

I'm all for boycotting Skyrim until Bethesda gets their head out of their ass.

They are responsible for that pile of **** called "Brink", and Mojang already moved the Minecraft release date from 11-11-11 for Skyrim because it was better for both games to do so.

Mojang is just a popular, rising developing company now and Bethesda is being a whiny little girl about it.

"But...but...we made Morrowind... WHY AREN'T YOU BUYING OUR GAMES ANYMORE!"

Nobody can own a word, this is just stupid.

This is the most retarded thing I've ever heard. I hope these Bethesda people die in their sleep tonight.

omg then the old englishmen can sue bethesda for using the word scrolls which they developed. YOU CANT CLAIM A FRIKKIN WORD, if so i can claim norwegian all for my self. And the sue everybody who talks norwegian, what an idiot

This is just so stupid just because there a bigger company does not mean they get to pick on indie game company's
like minecraft. There just jealous that minecraft is ruining there sales so bethesda stop being such a little baby and suck it up.
