The OP already established that in order to boycott Bethesda he'll also restrain from playing already bought games (I don't get it either). Following his "reasoning", that great idea you posted is not a solution for him.M920CAIN said:Well you can always pirate it if you don't buy it... did I just say that? *checks comment* yep... I did.
Look at it this way, Bethesda is the name of the company doing this, while Bethesda Softworks is the name of the company that actually made Skyrim. The game itself (the people who made it etc.) has nothing to do with the overly zealous corporate branch causing these court problems past some copyright definitions. Do you think you're going to see Tod Howard in that court room being a dick? Well you won't. If you want to punish yourself by not buying Skyrim over some moral conviction, fine, but know that it accomplishes absolutely nothing on any scale other than you missing out.
If you don't even went a talk about this situation then why bother making a damn topic. I always hate these self imposed whining topics to be honest. If you this makes you don't want to buy a game then I hope you don't buy apple products for the lawsuits the love to use (Any one remember the slide to unlock thing they brought up).xvbones said:
Oh are you using Facebook, because they copy right the use of Face in a social network site if I remember right. So they could sue someone for making FaceMe the social live web network site...that's a good idea...
Well if you lived in England you'd have long ago given up living, from lawsuits in Water companies, phone companies and so on left, right and centre. It's always happening, just not in in the public eye.
The thing is the courts will be on the side with the most money, always, so what some out of this is going to be a fantastic waste of your time. Anyway, I like the idea of the game being called 'Rolled Parchment', has more character than the shitty and pretentious name 'Scrolls'.

Your logic is something like this.
Imagine this situation
EA Sues some company for a moronic reason. You decide you will never buy Bioware products ever again because of it.
Bethesda game studios makes the games, Bethesda softworks are publisher and are the ones suing I presume.
I honestly don't care about the court issue at all. EA have done worse and I still buy Bioware products...

I, on the other hand, don't give a crap. I will buy Skyrim and I will have a frickin' awesome time. You're just hurting yourself by refusing to buy it.
Did something simular before though. Quit purchasing the new Guitar Hero games, but it wasn't because of a legal dispute. I got sick of them pushing out new games all the time, each more horrible than the last.

That's an over-reaction. Notch himself has stated on multiple occasions that that's not necessary, and that he himself is still buying the game regardless of what the outcome of the case is. If the victim's okay with it, I'm not going to go martyr myself for no reason. That being said, I'm probably going to buy Skyrim pre-owned. It's not entirely to do with the case, I'm not exactly rolling in money at the moment, but the lawsuit is certainly why I chose it over all the other games I'm interested in getting in the upcoming months. Even if I do buy it new, I'll be getting Scrolls on day one, just to support Mojang.
You do realise this is not Bethesda Game Studios who are suing; it's Bethesda Softworks (the original division who publish New Vegas). Not even the publisher of TES (Zenimax). Bethesda Softworks are your so called "crooks" and Bethesda Game Studios have no part in this legal dispute.
So you don't agree every time you hear "scrolls" in the gaming world, you don't think of TES? That's what it's about. I wouldn't blame 343 should a game come out called Planetary Rings and they file a court case for like-names.

I find it funny that you're doing this, even though Notch himself said that this very thing was silly. I'll be busy slaying dragons, you have fun. I don't know what kind of ridiculous moral high ground you think you're on but I don't quite understand why you've taken such a drastic action that ultimately harms you a lot more than Bethesda, who's dev team (those guys that made the damn game) had bugger all to do with the lawsuit.
Cool story, bro. I won't be buying nuclear materials.
I will be supporting them, because they make bloody entertaining games, and I couldn't give less of a shit about Mojang.

Is this what you expected peoples reaction to be?
If you don't want to buy it, there's got to be an boycott somewhere.
