Notch wants trial by battle against Bethesda. In Quake 3.
235 replies, posted
I don't know how people can defend Notch responding to a lawsuit by wanting to challenge a group of lawyers to a videogame 3v3, when his real defense should be hiring a lawyer, waiting for the court to decide, or simply changing the name.
All this is is an attempt to help the Bethesda game studio save face when they're related in only name to the people who are actually suing them. Nobody's going to boycott Skyrim because of this, and those have this actually redeem the game studio in their eyes are the Notch-worshippers.
when i saw the title i was like 'wow this is like that episode of game of thrones i watched the other day' and then when i read the thread i was like 'wow it is like that because that's where he got the idea'

yes and just because he's potty trained doesn't mean he can't smear his shit all over the bathroom wall

Only if the game is Hello Kitty Adventure Island.

Thats Unreal Tournament
All those Quake addons for CS:S (which is where I'm assuming you got that from) were actually Unreal Tournament sound effects. How they ever got the Quake name is beyond me

You're correct, although, it is a common mistake. Quake 3 came out like a fortnight after Unreal Tournament and they both had it.
edit : 10 days according to wiki
[QUOTE=EliteGuy;31784194]Sued for not taking it seriously. American lawyers are pretty uptight and I highly doubt they would accept a video game challenge. This is about money for them, not having fun.[/QUOTE]
Are you an American lawyer? Do you hang out with American lawyers? How do you know this?
Next time I get sued, I'm going to challenge the guy to a match of connect four.

I haven't heard that sentence since child school.
If I get into a lawsuit. I will challenge them to a game of TicTacToe.
[QUOTE=ExplodingGuy;31790954]So, respond to lawsuits with silly jokes and gestures only children would do?
Yeah, no. Nothing works that way.[/QUOTE]
Aren't sure if it's really relevant but

And my hypothesis just got vindicated. I bid you good day, sirs!
Notch wins again
I don't think you guys understand this, but Bethesda stands to lose money if they lose this lawsuit, because they would have to pay royalties to mojang because Scrolls is in The Elder Scrolls
I saw this in the minecraft section, I hope they stream this bitch.
[QUOTE=latin_geek;31784942]Am i the only one who thinks this is stupid[/QUOTE]
It's like Bethesda owns the word scrolls. Usage of the word is nothing to make a lawsuit over. I love Bethesda and Fallout, Brink and Elder Scrolls, but this is some stupid shit.
Can't wait for it, I want to see Notch win this one.

It makes me cry on the inside every time I hear Unreal Tournament called Quake.
I'd say blizzard have more reason to sue for "craft" but the whole thing is ridiculous, i hate this suing malarkey. Unless it brings promise of Q3 matches, of course.

It's the same for English US.
If it is a word, it's not in the dictionary.

Notice how "autist" still isn't a word and the closest result it has is autism.
