UPDATE NOTE
There seems to be some (understandable) confusion in regards to where the lawsuit is coming from. To clarify, "Bethesda Softworks" (publisher and developer of game titles) and "Bethesda Game Studios" (Creators of games like Oblivion, Skyrim etc.) are not the same entity. BGS is an in-house game-making team led by Todd Howard which is one part of Bethesda Softworks, and has no direct connection to the lawsuit in progress by Bethesda Softworks. Unless further specified by the acronym "BGS", any references to Bethesda in the following article assume "Bethesda Softworks". Sorry about the confusion!

Mojang has been in development of another project (which we went over in our last installment), which bears the working name "Scrolls". Bethesda has expressed concern that players could mix up this new game with their own "Elder Scrolls" series, although the two seem to share no noticeable similarities beyond the word "scrolls".
Notch said that their office received a 15-page cease-and-desist letter, claiming that Mojang would be sued for rights to the word, along with formal requests for legal fees. He went on to say that they are attempting to establish talks with Bethesda regarding the word, to find an amicable solution for both parties. At the time of this writing, there was no available response from Bethesda.
We will continue to update this article as information becomes available.

Yes of course, minecraft towers over companies like Zenimax. Look at sales and tell me what you think. You may think that they "freakin suck" but uh, most people love Zenimax. They're one of the biggest and best in the buissness, so faggot, please get a basic sense of what you're dealing with. Or even some facts before you post an utter **** useless comment that makes you look like a a complete idiot.
Well,....... it's kinda fun to scream your head off through caps lock. :smile.gif: and i really find it offensive of how u treat people. A simple hey your wrong and here is why (without language) would have sufficed. SO TRY SCREAMIN IN CAPS LOCK, and btw i love how notch is handling the situation http://notch.tumblr.com/post/9038258448/hey-bethesda-lets-settle-this
If you find the way i treat people is offensive, i think thats a personal problem. But you know, that may just be me. Also, you seem to be denying the fact that you were just called out on your inane chatter and stupidity. Why so?
Im not really denying it, i know i may be completely wrong and if so well then who cares? Lets all just wait for minecraft 1.8 and be happy and play for hours on end.
Well, now atleast you're acknowlegeding it. But seriously, the fact of how ignorant you people can be is just sad, dont post ******** that doesnt make any sense. No need for it, and it just shows your idiocracy and stupidity.
Um... who r u to judge people on what their saying. Let us "idiots" post what we want and how about u just laugh, think of how stupid we are, and keep it to urself. although this is an interesting conversation. and i definitely agree with Zuur

Also, you seem to have constant capitalization errors.
well im typing fast and i really dont care about grammar at this very moment only when im typing up something that is going to be reviewed. but who am i to argue with a person like u. u definitely seem to know what ur talking about
Typing fast? Hell, that took you some time. I'm typing plenty fast and have very few mistakes if any. And yes, I obviously know what im talking about.
Well it has been nice chatting with you, but I have to start fasting now so I'm going to sleep. Looking forward to how you'll be posting tomorrow on this topic.
Lasers.*
That hurts man.
If that hurt, you must have a social disorder. Or a mental illness. Also, What happened to you fasting and going to bed?
Couldn't sleep and I think that your awesome.
Actually, Mojang is working on a new game called scrolls. It's not in Minecraft.
You don't need to correct every post. If people did that in the forums often the forums would be half filled with corrections. You still should correct original posts (which are a hub to the discussion, so it is important have them well-kept) and posts that are to mangled to be understood properly. Leaving out a period still leaves a comprehensible sentence so long as there aren't any major errors.
Obviously, you don't seem to get the point. I'm not doing it for any decent reason. Mostly for the hell of it.
