If this was Valve, I might be willing to name a child 'Chell' or something, but Bethesda... ngh.

That's pretty stupid, given that the games aren't even that great.
That's not much of an argument because it's just your opinion.

Silly sounding offer though, I wonder if many people will do it.

Paying for the little hellspawn is gonna cost a lot more than you'll ever spend on video games.

You'll be sorry when they have virtual reality games that costs a college education. ^.^ I wonder if you can change it after the whole ordeal and the deal will remain valid.

One problem. How are virgins for life gone to have a child?

(This is a joke, don't take this coment serious or a reflection of how I actually see people who play these games)

So what happens if the game gets delayed? New birth date? Or public Bethesda embarrassment?

Saw that the other day. It's retarded if you ask me. Think of the children! They'll be bullied for life. Worst of all? The parents get a prize for making their childs life a living hell!

"Daddy, why did you name me Dovahkiin?"
"Because I'm a gamer first, parent second."

Besides, what would they do? Tattoo 'GIVE THESE PEOPLE FREE GAMES!' on your arm? A barcode?
[sub]If they were serious, they would probably just mail them to you or something, but that isn't any fun.[/sub]
It says in the article that they'd give you a special Steam key to get your games free from Steam.

Someone'll do it. Somewhere in the world...

I'm surprised that some of you guys think people WON'T be trying for this. I guarantee you that out there somewhere is a couple trying for this as I type this.

And even if the couples that do try to have the kid on that day, don't... How unlikely do you think it is for this situation to occur:

Recently wed, young couple, Sam and Anne decides to have baby. Cannot decide on a name. They opt for the, "We'll name it the first thing we think of at the hospital, when birth happens," option.
Sitting in the birthing room, Sam texts his buddy Peter, "Duuuuuude, its a boy! I have a son!"
To which Peter responds, "Sick bro! What did you end up naming him?"
"Oh we stiiiilll haven't decided."
"Really? Well, funny you should mention, my buddy Steve from accounting just showed me this... (sends link to Bethesda contest)"
Sam reads it over, then turns to Anne and says, "Heeeyyy honey.... what about, Dovahkiin?"
Anne replies, "Oh Sam, its perfect. We are such a happy go lucky young couple in love, we do things on whims! Lets do it!"

Love the name (I think it's cooler than mine) but the problem is conceiving this very moment and expecting for it to poop out on 11-11-11.

I am pretty sure that the money it takes to have a kid, the planning involved to have an 11-11-11 birth-date, and the cost to raise a kid would far overshadow the cost of me buying any Bethesda game as they are released (If I would even want to buy every single game). Not to mention that I never want any kids :p

This is grossly irresponsible. I can't believe Bethesda would be so conceited as to ruin some poor kid's life just to gratify their own grotesque egos. I hope nobody does this. I hope no one even tries. I mean, people who are into RPG's have to be smarter than this, right?

Hmm, while I did have someone well and truly up for this before the reward was revealed**,
I am not so sure this is worth it, the price of any games Bethesda will release until I die that I want, would be insignificant towards the alternative. Oh well.

Amusing though.

Now, now, there's still time for you to impregnate her- barely.
