Well. Warcraft and Minecraft are both multiplayer, vast 3D worlds set in fantasy. Also Minecraft will be adding adventure mode with bosses. Elder Scroll games are single player, vast 3D world set in fantasy. While Scrolls is a fantasy trading card game. Obviously Bethesda's lawyers are bored or maybe they need to show that…
incidentally, I wonder why Activision Blizzard never took any action over Minecraft, since it's clearly similar to Warcraft and Starcraft in name. I guess in that case there's a clear enough boundary between the genres?
what do you think showed up in google search for "mine craft" before minecraft had any internet presence? Apparently Scrolls is some kind of card game so that kinda invalidates the lawsuit completely. Id like to think its a publicity stunt, but I would have used a name much closer to the target IP for that to make sure it…
