What if they change the name of their game from “Scrolls” to “Fuck You, Bethesda”?

The Elder Scrolls: Arena
The Elder Scrolls 2: Daggerfall
The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind
The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion
The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim

Okay … so some backstory.  A little indie developer called Mojang creates this little game called Minecraft.  It sells a few (i.e. million) copies and becomes a relatively (i.e. wildly) successful indie game.  Back in the early days, the developer trademarked the name Scrolls for a game idea they had for a future title.  Scrolls.  That’s it.  Not “Elder Scrolls”.  Not “Younger Scrolls”.  Not “Scrolls, as in Oblivion”.  Just … Scrolls.  You know what I think of when I hear the word scrolls?  Not Oblivion, Morrorwind or any other game Bethesda made in the Elder Scrolls universe.  I think of rolled up pieces of parchment containing old-ass words that only over-educated, underpaid, self-righteous nerds could even pretend to know how to read.  You know, those things that have been around for thousands of years.   Oh yeah, Scrolls will be an indie developed card game, not a wide open-ended RPG in a massive world with an enormous budget and overpaid top tier voice talent.

Mojang has been trying to be nice about this by heaping copious amounts of praise upon the work of Bethesda over the years (and rightfully so) but Bethesda are continuing to play the role of dick puncher.  Mojang even threw out the idea of a Quake 3 Deathmatch for the rights to the trademark but was again served up a nice heaping dose of douch-fluid from the lawyers at Bethesda.  So now they go to court. 

I hope Bethesda gets decimated by the judge on this one.  The name Scrolls shouldn’t even remotely be considered infringing upon Bethesda’s trademarks.  With any luck, the judge will read the claim, snort and tell the Mojang fellows to walk over to the Bethesda lawyers and bitch-slap them before handing out the victory to Mojang. 

I’d also like to add … Minecraft gameplay is infinitely more engaging than Oblivion was.  And I loved Oblivion, shitty character graphics and all.

With that said, how do I get a refund on my Skyrim pre-order.  I don’t want to support your company until you drop this stupid nonsense and issue a formal apology to Mojang for being dickholes.
