Маркус «Нотч» Перссон придумал довольно экстравагантный метод по улаживанию спора вокруг проекта Scrolls. Создатель survival-конструктора Minecraft предложил компании Bethesda... сыграть в Quake 3.
По условиям дуэли, если победит команда Нотча, то Bethesda перестанет стращать студию Mojang судебным иском, но если команда Нотча проиграет, то Scrolls будет все-таки переименована. «Я не шучу», — подчеркнул Перссон в конце своего обращения.
Hey, Bethesda! Let’s settle this!
I am back, and I am excited.Marriage has been wonderful so far, and nobody sabotaged my computer while I was gone.
The only negative thing going on at this moment is the Scrolls trademark lawsuit nonsense, and I think I came up with the perfect solution:
Remember that scene in Game of Thrones where Tyrion chose a trial by battle in the Eyrie? Well, let’s do that instead!
I challenge Bethesda to a game of Quake 3. Three of our best warriors against three of your best warriors. We select one level, you select the other, we randomize the order. 20 minute matches, highest total frag count per team across both levels wins.If we win, you drop the lawsuit.
If you win, we will change the name of Scrolls to something you’re fine with.
Regardless of the outcome, we could still have a small text somewhere saying our game is not related to your game series in any way, if you wish.
I am serious, by the way.
