PAX is coming up fast, so we've been paying some attention to Penny Arcade. Evidently, they have been following the Bethesda lawsuit as well. It seems they see no small amount of humor in the situation, even offering a tongue-in-cheek resolution of their own.
In addition - Mojang is offering indie developers a chance for some exposure at MineCon, by providing a space and opportunity to demonstrate their games on the main exhibition floor! Any indie developers interested in this opportunity can fill out this form.
They can use it if they win at Quake , but if they loose ... they should still be using it because Bethesda sucks and Scrolls is just a normal word (like Sponning said) ...
I have an idea ! Let's copyright the word "I" Everybody who uses it must pay us much money and they get a lawsuit (Barney approved) ...
@jns20 you would need to go into the games source code and open every single .java file, find and replace. So that's about 500 files of finding and replacing you'd need to do.
I'm happy to see Mojang giving other indie developers a chance to show off their games at Minecon. It's awesome seeing them give other companies the chance for the same success Minecraft has gotten.
He should just name the game "Rolled Parchment" like the Penny Arcade Comic to make a point, It would probably hurt Bethesda's reputation a bit especially if Scrolls is a really fun game. (Which I'm assuming it will be.) Not that I really have anything against Bethesda, but what they're doing is stupid.
Mmm, Penny Arcade Expo Prime. I forgot to register early for tickets & now they're completely sold out, & the ticket prices were really good too.... & it was only a half hour from my house. Mojang & The Escapist & some of the guys from Blistered Thumbs & That Guy With The Glasses are gonna be there. I could just kick myself.
