Legal issues
MOJANG
V.S. BETHESDA
There was a legal battle between
Mojang and Bethesda over infringement laws due to Mojang creating the card
based computer game scrolls and the popular elder scrolls franchise. The reason
for their claim is that they were concerned that the consumers would get
confused and buy the wrong game and also
it was related to the name elder scrolls which would mean that they were
copying the name from them. But this was a stupid claim as they had not
copyrighted the name scrolls but elder scrolls and the consumer market has had
enough of the elder scrolls franchise to learn that it’s called elder scrolls
and not scrolls so Mojang one that claim. But in there appeal notch challenged
Bethesda to a Quake 3 death Match but they declined this amazing offer and
settle for a lawsuit but Bethesda lost as Mojang got to keep its name.
Znyga V.S E.A
Zynga known for its games on
Facebook has been challenged by ea after the Sims game on Facebook and they
have said it was an illegal copy of the Sims game its self and zynga have said
that it wasn’t and they will fight ea for the right of the game its self this
is more on ea’s side as they have named the game Sims and its exactly the same
as Sims so they are in a bit of a pickle in the legal side of this
there is also the part of the industry that needs to be discussed which is pirating games
ive always thought of it this way its free stuff if somebody goes to you do you want this game that they have bought you would say yes we know its bad but the amount of people that do it make it seem okay.
