Bethesda is gay for suing Notch, the creator of a game far better than the stupid elder scrolls. It looks so dumb my head would blow up just even thinking about pla-
Love how no one has been paying attention to the facts. Bethesda never asked their lawyers to do this, they just did it.
Bethesda was asked by their lawyers if they could sue Mojang, and Bethesda agreed. And they could stop the whole thing at any time. It's not like Bethesda lawyers are independent from Bethesda.
Wait, so Mojang is getting sued for using the word "Scrolls"? AND THEY HAVE TO PAY FOR THE RIGHT TO USE "SCROLLS"? Why? Worker: "Oh no! We are getting ripped off of Mojang because they are copying our game!" Owner: "Why?" Worker: "BECAUSE THEY USED THE WORD "SCROLLS"!" Owner: "OMG CALL THE POLICE!"

What? What is this? The interconnected web wants ME to make a signature? HOW RUDE! At least give me a good idea starter! People these days. I say,the world these days!
Bethesda I love you for fallout but come on now your suing Mojang for using the word Scrolls? just because this one will be great you have to sue Mojang agemo and dargboota are right about this. so JUST GET OVER IT its a word you cant own a word. Scrolls! now you gonna sue me? How about I make A custom map called scrolls and wait for you to sue me for that so just leave Mojang alone there is nothing wrong with using the word Scrolls. soI give you some
I'm sorry, but half of you are so ignorant its sad. Almost ALL of you don't even come close to understanding the point of this.
Zenimax isn't Suing at all. Its a cease and desist. And those of you that are saying stupid **** like, "SUE ME IM USING THE WORD SCROLLS" you also have no idea what Zenimax is trying to do. And for those of you who don't know what a Cease And Desist is, its an order or request to halt an activity (cease) and not to take it up again later (desist); or else face legal action.
So most of you are saying things that really don't help your cause. So to be honest. most of you might wanna get your facts straight. Also, don't blame the company. That's just ignorant. Its the lawyers. Most of the time the lawyers need No consent, none at all, to take legal action. So don't freak the **** out at the company. And now after that note, my point is made. Don't be ignorant.

Sorry bro, but its Zenimax. Zenimax is the parent company. Hence they own the lawyers, hence its Zenimax. Not Bethesda.
Well, in some points, it depends on who has more money. And honestly, its a big matter of opinion. Zenimax has a really good chance of winning considering how huge they are.

Cease and Desist is a "threat" to sue. It is like suing, but giving the other party a chance to get out of it. Seeing as Mojang isn't planning on changing the name, it will end up with suing them.
And besides, if Bethesda (Zeni-Max isn't the one doing the suing, even though they do own the company) let the lawyers attempt legal action without their permission, they can still stop them at any time. Bethedsa would have to be blind to not realize all this is going (they are probably recieving thousands of e-mails, tweets, and other messages right now about this).

Yes, but overall, Zenimax owns Bethesda, who owns the lawyers. Hence Zenimax owns the lawyers. My point still stands.
Well I Don't care because Bethesda (the one that makes elder scrolls) is awsome and epic and doesn't sue for gay stuff like using a word but it's counter-part Bethseda (the one no one cares about) is gay.
The ironic thing is that ever since the C&D letter people have been making jokes that intentionally confuse Scrolls and The Elder Scrolls, while no one was at all confused previously. So they've achieved exactly what they wish to prevent
Sad state of affairs when you get sued over a fair use word. scroll is a common term for a rolled piece of paper, so this lawsuit should be thrown out at the first stage. when i first saw the promo for "oblivion" game i had no idea it was part of the Elder Scrolls series. You might be able to mix these games up if you expect Bethesda to produce a game with 1990s quality graphics (it could happen).
i'll be interested to see if anything comes of this.
notch is clearly trying to use the name scrolls to get publicity from the elder scrolls who are releasing tes skyrim this year which is a viking/norse themed game, notched crappy card game is also viking/norse themed, then notch says he did not know there were games with a similar name to scrolls which is clearly a lie since any game developer who has not been living under a rock for the past 15 years knows what the elder scrolls are. also check out scrolls.com and see if the guy to the right is not similar to the guy Bethesda have been using in their advertisements.

dude, there was a post made by Notch stating that he knew and loves the elder scrolls series and Skyrim is not even close to a Viking/Norse, plus, I did not know about the elder scrolls series until very recently

Best of luck to Mojang's lawyers. It's almost certain they'll win this legal battle from what I can tell.
