BOYCOTT BETHESDA!!!

Its like not being able to call a site BookFace.

It isn't Bethesda suing Notch it's their parent company Zenimax Software. So don't get mad at Bethesda.

Big game companies try to keep the up-and-coming companies down by finding any way they can to topple them over, so they eliminate competition before it begins. It's a standard business technique, really. It happens all over, too, not just the video game world. In the music industry, independent record companies only control about 11% of the overall nation-wide music sales, but almost 80-90% of the most famous musicians were originally contracted to an independent company, and got jacked by a major company as soon as they got the slightest bit noticed.

Bethesda also has a tendency to sue people for just about anything they can... They even sued the company that was making the Table-Top D-20 version of Fallout. Albeit they didn't ask for permission, and this situation isn't even the SLIGHTEST bit comparable to that one, as that was a blatant copyright and trademark infringement, but THIS... If I'm not mistaken, trademarks don't protect EVERY SINGLE WORD in your trademark title.

I never really had much respect for Bethesda, anyway. Their games are dull, and poorly made. If it weren't for Elder Scrolls, they'd be a dead company by now.

Come on! This is preventing the Adventure Update! I agree with Notch though, this has to be an automated response, or they have no idea about the amount of internet backdraft will comeout of this. Go Notch!

Scrolls

Trollplolooolllolllollllloooolllo

The people know the diffrence between ELDER and Scroll so we will not mix it up. Let us use it for it may help you and get people thinging... "Hmm ill try elder scrolls after this (put name of scrolls project here)" So your sales and revune will increase while we get a share too.

What has our world come to, to take money from someone elseover usage of a word?

this is stupid! no one OWNS the word scrolls.therefore this makes no sense

I can't imagine how anyone could keep Minecraft down. They're innovative and famous, so even if you take away all they're money, they'll earn more in the next 5 minutes and still be able to pay their fees. They're also the first of their kind, so all the other games are
"copies". Also, they have a great modding community.

does this remind anyone of apple and android? apple can't take the fact that android outsells iphone 2 to 1 so they sue over things like a black bezel surrounding a rectangular screen.......anyways she needs to shut the front door and stay in her own business.

Scrolls!

OMFG how dare you

I am not getting elder scrolls skyrim anymore bethwhatever

I hope acreeper blows up bethwhatever and skyrim

We should countersue for claiming the word "scrolls"! Seriously though, Notch said he really liked those games and that he was going to promote them after the big release. But no way in hell he is now. Jerks!

what has the world come to!? :mellow.gif:

edit: sorry didnt see others replies

what the f**K that's not fair because what if i wanted to make a game seris called the scrolls of earth or the ancient scrolls i can't now because the world is trademarked and what does that say hu? oh yea all people can't use scrolls in there game name? i would sue them for sueing mojang for nothing!@$$ holes are what they are

More importantly, the word "The" is part of their title, and by their reasoning, part of their trademark. Have fun writing sentences with the word "The" from now on
