Bethesda Says Mojang's Scrolls Infringes on Elder Scrolls Mark

[Arcanist]

My point -still- , nearly a page after the fact, being that I have no reason or obligation to explain my opinion to people who cannot use GOOGLE of all things.
I've never bent to any silly social pressure. Including memes, Facebook, twittering. Certainly not going to start -now-.

Really? You're going with the tried and true bullshit argument of 'Well, I'm not going to explain myself because I'm a rebel'?

Look, nobody on this board will take you seriously if you say something so incendiary and then insult them when they ask for you to explain yourself.

I's also like to point out that since you where the one to bring up Notch being supposedly 'smug' and 'lazy', that the burden of proof is upon you. It's a rhetorical cop-out to just say that "we're too lazy" to look up your goddamn arguments.

 

[Jake the Snake]

Wait, aren't Todd Howard and Notch friends? They just did an interview a month or two ago...this makes no sense....

 

[RedDeadFred]

Meh, don't care. It's unfair but I am certainly going to buy Skyrim and enjoy it.

 

[toquio3]

What a class act.

 

[The Bucket]

I hate Notch, but Bethesda throwing a hissyfit over this is priceless.
It's like they're going to copyright the word "scrolls" to avoid you mixing up a detailed, good-graphic exploration-rpg with a blocky pixelated sandbox build-a-thon.
Derp.

Off topic here, but wow reading your posts on this thread is entertaining. Its like a car crash where you cant look away, you post ridiculous things then when people confront you with logic you refuse to address them

Congrats on taking time out to be incorrect and insulting.
Sorry you can't grasp logic and facts.
Can the prepubescent kids stop jerking off over me and move on now?
I know I'm new and scary and of course aware that "DOES NOT AGREE WITH = TROLL" but really now =3.
You even went off-topic purely to be incorrect. What's with this obsession with me you creepy stalkers :-D

Jesus you can't just be intelligent and address what people have said to you can you?
An opinion is fine but don't expect it to be valid when you can't even produce reasons for it or counter simple logic

Couldn't have said it better myself XD I'd been reading his comments as well and laughing at them. Some of them are just pathetic, especially when he pulled the troll card for no valid reason.

Plenty of times, plenty of places.

Oh well, I'll end it on a high note like before.
I had an account here before, whatever I contributed was ignored and laughed at by illiterate xbox-wanking pieces of shit like you. I get infractions for defending myself from a bunch of american twats to stupid to die in 9\11 while people throwing around bona fide insults get nothing.
DEMOCRACY WOO! By which I mean corruption.

That first account got banned because someone sucked the mods or admins cocks too much. A year or two passed, I thought the retards left, but then I remembered - you can't take the people out of the internet.
A chainban will commence soon because I truly despite your guts and wait for the day either Iran, China, Russia or some other nuclear power slaps you with a missile and makes you realize you shouldn't flash your testicles when you are not hot shit any more.
I'm out, do whatever. I'll be back with a new IP when I feel like it, taking more vermin\accounts with me.

I'm ashamed to be called a human next to worthless animals like you, children.
In the meantime, try to avoid the impending nuclear missile, actually work on your awful education system and try to develop LOGIC and THINKING for yourself. Shoving facts ni your face did nothing but make yuo insult me. Americans indeed!
9\11 FTW.
Bye tards.

I just thought id point out that both the people you quoted are British according to their profiles... You cant write stuff like this folks.

I don't mean to double post but can we report this asshole. You celebrating 9/11 is the lowest thing I know of. You whining is not helping anything and if you really think that way just get off this site. If not then work on your attitude.

You may want to rephrase that, since I don't own an Xbox XD Never have, I own a PS3. You are also showing you immaturity by swearing, I'm also not American, I'm British. Watch where you throw your assumptions, they may be wrong XD

I also don't have testicles. I'm female

To try and keep this on topic, I'm pretty sure everyone is saying the same thing. Hopefully this whole thing will die a death and be brushed under the carpet never to be seen again.

 

[InsaneMaggot]

simply report the child with the hissyfit and let's move on people.


OT : Kinda silly to sue somebody over a word like "scrolls". Why doesn't square-enix do something like that? i'm plenty sure that somebody used "fantasy" or "final" in their titles.

 

[toquio3]

My only interest in scrolls (the mojang variety) at this point is, will it be more fun than MTG?

what the game is called in the end is meaningless. but i still hope bethesda gives it a rest though.

 

[cora mcstrap]

This reminds me of Ford complining that people might confuse 1of their 4x4's with the Feriari for this years F1 season casue they have a silmilar name. Companies like to push the limates of what they can get away with.

 

[ServebotFrank]

Oh yes I really need to post something on topic now. Though I honestly doubt I can say anything different then what everyone else has said.

OT: I'm pretty sure Notch and Tom are friends so it's probably just lawyers being idiots. You can't copyright Scrolls and no one would confuse Elder Scrolls with Scrolls. The reason being everyone calls the game by it's subtitle. Oblivion, Skyrim, Daggerfall, Morrowind. I never see anyone refer to the game by it's full title anyway.

 

[I Have No Idea]

4 Dead FORCED broken gameplay mechanic.

That statement makes no sense...

the remaining 2? HALF A YEAR LATER.

Welcome to Valve Time

it's a buggy, jumbly mess of freezing, crashing and hanging failure with rainbow-acidtrip hats and the "unique art style" gleefully thrown in the crapper for greedy corporate profit mongering."

Valve is a privately owned games company. And perhaps it's your internet connections that's causing problems.

Valve does not know how to program. Valve does not playtest and I'm -very- certain valve does not know what it is doing.

I challenge you to program your own game, then. Show us that you know what you're doing. And Valve doesn't know what it's doing? Is that why Half Life and Half Life 2 have been critically acclaimed and are considered to be two of the best games of all time?

 

[theheroofaction]

Dear world, YOU CAN'T PATENT WORDS. Especially if those words have been in use for the past 1200 years.

Seriously, it didn't work with "Edge" it won't work with "scrolls"

 

[Crystalgate]

Yes, you can report a post by clicking the red button labeled "REPORT".

Also, can people stop responding to Pessimist and just let the moderators take care of him? Ever heard the part about feeding and trolls?

 

[Denamic]

Yes yes ure funny hururur
Actually you are just a little n1gger with no intelligence to be original, too stupid to realize what FACTS are and insulting others because you are an insecure c*nt.
9\11 FTW people. Shame only 3 thousand of you died there :-\

Actually, I'm Swedish, quite white, and much more familiar with the concept of irony than you are.
Stay classy.

The funny part here is that he's been here for a few hours and already has a few warnings under his belt. Hopefully the mods get fed up and throw out an IP ban.

 

[kebab4you]

Is there really any doubt at this point that it´s just a troll? Stay classy idd.

 

[InsaneMaggot]

could we just stop responding to the troll's BS and move on with the topic?

i personally think that the topic on hand is much more interesting than the ranting of some conceited child.

OT : I already said what i wanted to say, but to add a bit more content to the post. i agree with the sentiment that it's most likely not betheseda's doing, much more likely it's overzealous lawyers trying to stir up some controversy for PR reasons.

>sue indie company over name
>people discuss the issue
>people talk even more about skyrim
