This seems like a really ill-conceived play on bethsoft's part. A month before the release of their biggest title in years, and they want to piss off gamers by suing someone universally loved by them? Why? What possible good could come of this for them? I would have thought the initial reaction to the story would have caused them to rethink their strategy, but they don't seem to care.
- radu_floricica 15y agoThere is no such thing as bad publicity. And this one is really cheap. How else would I find out on HN that they're launching next month?
- redthrowaway 15y agoBethesda doesn't need this kind of publicity; they're one of the biggest and most successful studios this side of EA or Activision. Skyrim has been hotly anticipated (and its release date announced) for about a year, now. I can see this having a minor effect on Skyrim sales, but I certainly can't see it having a positive one.
