Notch challenges Bethesda to Quake 3 match to settle lawsuit

[Crzwaco]

This is so awesome now bethesda will spend less money/time in courts and spend a 3 hour match of a game settleing it. I bet you notch and his 3 best warriors are practicing hard.

How about screw that, and not use the limited 26 character alphanumeric alphabet. Scrolls can be in any language(jap, chinese, russian, ?arabic?). You cant copyright a sound can you? Thats like copyrighting everyone being allowed to speak... Ima sue you if you make that oo sound again in foo. Because I copyrighted foo. And every other individual sound. Pay up if you want to talk. lol...


How about greek? looks pretty cool. κύλισης
And whenever you see that just think of scrolls, copyrights cant cross word meanings, I hope. Besides, the dumbshit american lawyer would nod his head in agreement that its a better name, as it makes no sense(to him).

But on a serious note, if bethesda denies the challenge, and continues law suit... Also they could accept challenge, and lose badly, and drop lawsuit. They could accept challenge and lose badly and not drop lawsuit. They could win challenge and drop/not drop lawsuit. They could deny challenge drop lawsuit.

What should happen in theory is they lose lawsuit as the credibility is poor, and so is the competition. If they happen to win lawsuit, then there was obviously some passing of money under the table/in the backroom. Besides, why doesnt notch counter sue for anti competition/bethesda monopolising. This could result in a politial battle, which I'm sure bethesda doesnt want to become the heat of. Also might come in light of the near release of skyrim(skyrim is bethesda right?)

And you can bet that somewhere in the dark tower of Bethesda, some dude is sharpening his pwn skills so that he gets selected, in case Bethesda accepts the challenge.

That man has just become my hero, _|_ giving the finger to the big guy!

Courts are boring. Lawsuits go on forever and lawyers are usually the only winners. I agree with this - a modern, non deadly duel.

If Bethesda backs down, they lose all respect.

It's a pointless case to start with it's like Windows vs Lindows, at the end of the day the case thrown out and the judge even questioned if Microsoft can even trademark the word windows.

Although the match might be fun none the less...
