Notch got sued...

[Spooniest]

The whole thing seems patently ridiculous to me. Why not focus on making good games, instead of going around suing people who are just trying to make good games themselves?

Their actions have an effect on the attitudes and hence, buying decisions, of the gaming public. Don't they get that we're paying attention to what they're doing? They're not fooling anyone.

Way to miss it

because thats not true, bethesda (to my knowledge they aren't part of a larger company) is about as indie and (financially) as large as Mojang.

the people that make the games aren't the guys doing the suing. Now thats just the initial lawsuit and that this doesn't take away from the game making. Though I do not see why Bethesda aren't just saying "stop pursuing this". I'm guessing its more disinterest. Perhaps even what you said. "We dont care what you lawyers do, just leave us alone so we can keep making games." Skyrim is nearing launch, the actual company has more pressing matters then reigning in their overzealous lawyers
