Full story here.  Shortened version: Notch is willing to put this all on a game of Quake 3.  If Bethesda wins, he'll change the name.  If Notch wins, he gets to keep it.  I like the idea, although I also think ZeniMax is really overzealous here in their trademark protection efforts.  As a practicing attorney, though, I would be completely shocked if anything came of this.  I can't imagine a legal department litigious enough to make the claims they've already made here would accept a resolution like this.

It's not Bethesda, it's ZeniMax.

I doubt anyone will take up this offer though.

Wait what? If Notch wins the match he loses the deal? Or did you jumble what you meant to say?

So stupid.

Why is nobody addressing the fact that this could be the first time somebody plays Quake 3 in the past three years! 
 
EDIT: Nevermind, I was thinking of Quake 4.  That would be far better, in my opinion.

There has been some discussion about this one already:

@natetodamax: Edited, although I think it's a bit of a distinction without a difference.

There is a difference, though. ZeniMax is a publisher that owns a ton of developers, like Bethesda and id. I'm pretty sure Bethesda had very little say in this matter.

The whole thing sucks, though. Trademarks are stupid, and they're doubly so for normal words like Scrolls, Edge and Trench.

I think he should change the name anyway. Scrolls is so incredibly vague and boring as a title for a video game.
