Notch: "A lot of people want more details about what is going on, so here is everything I know:
First of all, I love Bethesda. I assume this nonsense is partly just their lawyers being lawyers, and a result of trademark law being the way it is.
About half a year ago, our lawyers recommended us to register “Minecraft” as a trademark, so we did. I had voted against it initially, but we did it anyway. Better safe than sorry, and all that. At the same time, we also applied for “Scrolls”, the new game we’re working on. We knew of no similarly named games, and we had even googled it to make sure. I’m not even sure if you CAN trademark individual words, like “Scrolls”, but we sent in the application anyway."
YouTuber Potomy has revealed new details about the new Bloodborne mod and that it is now in a playable state for Minecraft.
Given the medium's wild diversity, this primer of the essential video games everyone should try is a good place to start.
I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.
Tomb Raider 1
Driver 1
Abe’s Odyssey
FF6
King of Fighters 94
Mortal Kombat OG
LINK 2 the past
Street Fighter 2
Resident Evil 1
Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.
Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.
Minecraft Bedrock is introducing add-ons to the marketplace. The add-ons can now be added to many existing and new worlds.
Nice! Next up, shaders on consoles.
“A new update is improving how mods work for Minecraft Bedrock. Mojang has introduced add-ons to the marketplace.”
“These add-ons can now easily be added to new and existing worlds instead of being tied to a single world.
There are plenty of free and paid add-ons that will let you customize just about anything in your world.”
So RayTracing is no longer locked to the NVIDIA maps? I know there was a workaround, but it will be nice to have easier access to all worlds.
I love Bethesda, and am a huge Elder Scrolls fan, but if this is legit, they need to pull their heads out of their litigious asses.
Only a jackass thinks that trademarking/copywriting every word is reasonable. There really is room enough in the creative world for everybody.
Best of luck to both companies and the games they produce.
So I couldn't use the word Warfare in my game? Or Rings? Or Derby? (just some random examples but you get the idea) Or any other single word that's ever been in a game title?
That's lame and if this lawsuit goes through, the whole trademark system is a shambles.
Change the name of the upcoming game to "Scrolls: $#@# Bethesda, and the lawyers they rode in on, right in the Ear! "
Some useful synonyms for "scroll" might be parchment, annal, chronicle, codex, writings, scripture, manuscriptum, vellum, papyrus, canon, octavo, folio.
Hope Notch wins. Elders Scrolls and Scrolls are to different name. I doubt Bethesda copyright the name elder and scrolls differently, they copyright elder scroll as one word. Looks like we cant have a game called super elders
Bethesda will lose a lot of sales for doing this to an indie company.
All i have to say is fuck Bethesda!
