PoV: Notch Can Use Scrolls. Woo. |
Listed in: News Tags: mojang law suit, notch vs bethesda, scrolls case
This a PoV. In other words, this article is my point of view, and while you may disagree with it, learn to embrace it. It's Valentine's Day. Opinions and love are what keep the world going (Probably). Not that this article will be filled with love.
Something about Notch bothers me. An air of arrogance? Maybe.
Bethesda aren't happy with his use of the name ‘Scrolls’ on his new game, but instead of changing it, he let things go to court and has indeed won an injunction that will now let him use the name unless/until Bethesda appeal against it.
Hope you’re happy, Notch, as it doesn't feel like a victory to me. I understand he wasn't happy with Bethesda trying to own a word, and I agree with him being upset; you can’t own a common word.
But if he had changed his title’s name as soon as Bethesda had complained, it would have worked much more in his favour. Why? Because people would say:
‘Why did he change the name?’
‘Because Bethesda weren't happy with it because they use the word in The Elder Scrolls.’
‘Wow, Bethesda are dicks.’
Instead it’s ‘Notch beat Bethesda in that name case. Oh good, after the months and hassle of law suits, he gets to use the world ‘Scrolls’.’
And they’d be right. It feels like he’s trying to prove a point to everyone watching, so he’s the big indie man taking down the evil corporations.
I’m just not feeling the passion here, it feels primarily about status.

If a large company approaches you and makes ridiculous demands: Do whatever they say.

Now it looks like a petty battle with both sides being, well, petty.
If he had changed it, Bethesda would have come across petty, and Notch would have come across as not caring over a simple change.

I assume that had Notch given up on the name they would do the same.
Either way, they both would have still looked "petty".

I've been a Bethesda fan for over a decade, but they were crossing the line with this court business. Consumers aren't stupid. Scrolls is abviously unrelated to The Elder Scrolls. I doubt Bethesda will release an ELDER Scrolls game without the word ELDER in it.
