Notch got sued... - Page 3

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

Unless they believe bad publicity is still better than no publicity at all...

Actually, Bethesda Softworks is owned by Zenimax. (Zenimax owns id Software as well!)
So, there really is a bigger company behind Bethesda.

I stand corrected, still saying a multimillionaire is being bullied because they are small seems abit odd

Aldurin · 09-28-2011, 12:10 PM

Fuck you Bethesda, I'm going to wait until Skyrim is on a huge sale before I buy it!

That will show you!

Melfice · 09-28-2011, 12:27 PM

I'm still buying Skyrim on day one.
Mostly because if I cancel my pre-order, I'm no longer eligible for a draw at the webshop, but still!

It's what Notch would want. (No, seriously. Last I heard, the guy is still getting Skyrim as well, so...)

Hahahahahahaha! Point taken

Also this is all kind of pointless because end of the day Notch could just change the name to "Somethin something of the Scrolls" or "Scrolls of the Something Something" or "The Something Scrolls of the Something" and that would be so differentiated nobody is going to be able to tell a similarity. So basically Bethesda spends a bunch of money on a truly pointless exercise 'cause at the end of the day the title is going to have the word scrolls in it regardless.

Suggestions:

"The Magic Scrolls of the Elders"
"The Scrolls of Mirror Wind"
"The Scrolls of SwordDrop"
"The Ancestral Scrolls"
"Scrolls! Scrolls! Scrolls! Scrolls! Scrolls! Scrolls! Scrolls!"
"The Game Formerly Known As Scrolls"
"TheNot Elder Scrolls"
"Scrolls-a-Million"
"The Imperial Scrolls of Honor"
