Notch will be advised to back down and change the name... thats my prediction.

Bethesda has a bigger cash pot and the Copyright/Trademark laws are in a chaotic form at the moment.

Its all about initial costs, and no indie developer even on Minecraft scale will fight a legal battle against a corporate giant over a single word.

Also, although the word "Scroll" is not a direct link to "Elder Scrolls", it holds a lot of resemblance and with copyright/trademark laws, you do not have to be exact with your copyright, only have to prove some resemblance...

I am surprised Blizzard didn't sue them for using "Mine-craft"

It's just an asshole move really. I just hope Bethesda drops it.
