People are going to buy this in mistake thinking it's connected to the Elder scrolls, better sue them. /Bethesda Logic.
What you people don't get, they're filing it because it's a videogame, "scrolls" as any other media doesn't matter, and this is an open and shut case on beths behalf, there is pretty much no chance of mojang winning this, can't say I agree with them but that's how the law works.
And this shit happens SEVERAL times a month, apple and LG, sony and microsoft, tens if not hundreds of lawsuits being thrown at eachother each month, they just keep it quiet, because that's how big business works, which mojang is now part of, no notch, you're not a small fry anymore, 3 million copies sold at 10-20 euros a pop, that's more than most non blockbuster(half life, CoD, battlefield, etc) makes per game.
Sorry guys, if you began to trademark the english alpheabat, I will start speaking in 1337 language

@Crimor
Actually I highly doubt that Mojang has a chance of loosing this case. Though that's in part due to Beth's past actions.
They have always referred to the "The Elder Scrolls" as one singular title that is naturally bound together. Hence argument about similarities between various naming conventions between other games trademarks (Mario, Warcraft) fall somewhat short, as Beth has never explicited any of the elements of the title.
Likewise their past naming conventions have included the entiriety of the title.
Plus as a last bit of consideration - They are suing in the EU. That's a shitload different to suing in the US. Since in the EU the courts often proclaim the intelligent consumer and there's a lot of french influence on them.
Which rarely leads to cases of someone suing because they got burned on a cup of scalding hot coffee.
Like I've said. The law firm is following Zeni max company policy in trying to scare smaller studios from making use of any part of their copyright name. Most smaller upstarts will actually cave in.
You see I like Bethesda
and I like Mojang
But witch is better?
Well there is only one way to find out
FIGHT!!!
They want to leave a paper trail, so that when someone actually DOES do copyright infringement,
Bethesda can say they were already defending it and win the lawsuit

Avatar fits.
Hope Bethesda doesn't find out about the Dead Sea Scrolls, or they might sue Gerald Lankester Harding's corpse.
[QUOTE=Bletotum;31551432]tomorrow we find out that bethesda also owns "the" and valve owns the words "left" and "dead"[/QUOTE]
No, Valve would never pull off a move this stupid. Never.
Bethesda, this is NOT a smart move. Do NOT jeopardize Skyrim's hype... you don't want a bunch of angry Minecrafters boycotting it because you're suing their deity.
I hate minecraft. Its boring, nothing ever happens. The graphics are terribly outdated and so are the gameplay mechanics.

I'm assuming you didn't read anything the past. Ooooh. I dunno, 3-4 pages.

Why did Notch tweet the documents sent to him. I feel that hes trying to wave his dick around, and attempting to make Bethesda look bad.
GOD DAMMIT BETHESDA YOU ARE NOT APPLE! STOP ACTING LIKE APPLE YOU ARE BETTER THAN THIS!

Seriously FP, Bethesda GAME STUDIOS isn't suing Notch.
[QUOTE='[sluggo];31559480']I hate minecraft. Its boring, nothing ever happens. The graphics are terribly outdated and so are the gameplay mechanics.[/QUOTE]
I tried it when the payment servers went down so I could play the full version with a friend.
I thought you could go in there and build anything. Then my friend said "LOLNO, it's called MINEcraft, silly. You have to sit here for a few hours clicking block after block after block before you build! Make sure you save often, or you'll go back to zero!"
So I got a pickaxe... and after five minutes it broke. Repeat the process for a few hours...
Yeah.... nope. I'll go play with my LEGOs instead.

Bethesda uses Gamebryo
Don't talk about coding quality

So you choose to be willfully ignorant about a subject?
What's actually stupid is how little Notch works on his game.

Here comes the minecraft haters and people that have no point.

People seem to think Notch is the only person working at Mojang.
[QUOTE=Rocko's;31560148]I played Minecraft before, since people made it out as "THE BEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD!"
And it sucked, it's basically just a game where you click on blocks, then add more blocks. I'm not trying to make Minecraft out as a shitty game, but it's not the best thing ever.[/QUOTE]
Yeah that TOTALLY justifies Bethesda being babies and suing them for a bullshit reason.
[QUOTE=Map in a box;31560120]Here comes the minecraft haters and people that have no point.[/QUOTE]
Did you never play minecraft in the early days of its existance? Because if you did you would have remembered how often updates came and how fast the game developed.

When did I say that Mojang deserves this? I don't like what Bethesda SOFTWORKS is doing. All I said is that people overhype Minecraft for no reason.
Wow is Bethesda trying to play hardball? I mean they already got hacked by Lulzsec, why are you pissed at a harmless Indie company? They didn't do anything nor threatened you. Bethesda should just relax, what did come to mind to me was that Notch and Tom sat down and spoke to one another that one day. Not sure where the video is, probably easy to find it on Google but still. Bethesda calm down.
