Mojang and Bethesda Are Going to Court

[Formica Archonis]

I love how Bethesda's evidence includes a set of forum posts that include one guy saying he's going to get confused between Scrolls and The Elder Scrolls just like he gets confused between Neverwinter Nights and NiGHTS into Dreams.

The lawyers might speak Swedish but they don't speak sarcasm!

This is stupid. Get better Bethesda.

That's it.
I'm going to rename myself Scrolly McScrollerson just to deliberately troll Bethesda.
That'll show 'em.

Bethesda should be boycotted. What's that? You absolutely MUST have Skyrim? No you don't. It's just a silly first-person RPG and you can wait a few months while Bethesda realizes the error of its ways. You won't die if you don't get a copy on the release date. It'll still be there. Hell, it'll probably cost less by then. Or you can even get it used!

And by the way, you dumbass lawyers, I *can* tell the difference between Scrolls and Skyrim. See what I just did there? I didn't write: The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim. I just wrote Skyrim. The "Elder Scrolls" part is just fluff to me. But hey, thanks for thinking that I'm too much of a fricking moron to tell the difference.

This will come to bite Bethesda when Skyrim comes out. No, it won't be a huge bite, but it will be a bite.

In a way, this court case is somewhat similar to what Wiseau Films did to the Nostalgia Critic back in the day. The Nostalgia Critic's mock video can somewhat summarize Bethesda's intensions: http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/nostalgia-critic/26252-the-tommy-wiseau-show

yeah I don't like either companies' games, and don't care about either company.

but the way copyright/trademark legal disputes like this start out, and lead too, I'm completely against Bethesda.
