Well, the time for peaceful talks has ended between Bethesda and Markus "Notch" Persson. The two will be headed to court to settle the dispute over Notch calling his next title Scrolls and Bethesda having a bit of an issue with that.
Bethesda claims that Notch's and Team Mojang's upcoming title infringes on Bethesda's copyright for a game series you may have heard of, The Elder Scrolls.
Previously, Notch offered to settle the dispute over a friendly game of Quake 3, but Bethesda and their lawyers did not bite.

Last month Notch described Bethesda's claim as "bogus" and said "if we're going to court, I will fight this for as long as it takes".
He also noted that Bethesda itself has released several one-word-named games that share a noun with older titles, offering its new FPS Rage and classic Sega brawler Streets of Rage as examples.
