Does anyone know what happened to Human Head after Shinra Technologies liquidated?I saw the email earlier and thought it was a typo.
If this were the only thing Bethesda Softworks/ZeniMax had ever pulled, I wouldn't bat an eye, even if it's petty.
However, because of this:
they get a nice big "fuck off" from me
I really feel bad for the dev studios they currently own, and I hope no one let's themselves be bought out by them in the future.
Still going to call it Prey for the Gods.
To be honest, I don't really understand the title.
If it was Pray for the gods, yes that makes sense.
Prey for the gods just reads weird

If A is hunted by B, then A is prey for B.To be honest, I don't really understand the title.

Meanwhile, here's Zenimax trying to muscle in on the Prey trademark for t-shirts as well.
Some random person filed for "Prey" for clothing before Zenimax got around to it. Zenimax wants to put a stop to that even though this person got there first.
So they pulled another Scrolls. Fuck off Bethesda
I mean, if they can prove that this person only did it to squat, there's precedence for the squatter losing their rights. For example, if I went out and got halo6.com and halo7.com and Microsoft hadn't gotten to it yet, they would likely be taken from me with no compensation if I tried to extort Microsoft. But if they're trying to strip it despite that person having legitimate business reasons to have it, yeah, that's scummy.
halo7.com is a memorial site for someone who died in 2004. I feel like Microsoft will have a hard time getting their hands on that site when Halo 7 is announced.
Good thing it wasn't called Prey for the Scrolls. Then they'd really be in trouble.

IndeedThey're probably just jealous that Prey for the Gods looks 100x more interesting than Prey.

It's intentional double meaning. Normally you would pray for the gods but in this case you are prey for the gods.
Not that hard to understand, really. Although changing it to "Præy" just introduces more confusion.
I hope some dev team tries "Scrolls of Prey"
Then you surely will be losing your trademark very soon because of Wings of Prey then.We really didnt have much of a choice. If we dont oppose the mark, we risk losing our Prey trademark and that isnt acceptable. Unfortunately, thats how trademark law works.
Why didn't they call it 'Prey to the Gods' in the first place? Nobody prays 'for' gods, so the pun seems a bit wonky.
prey =/= pray
I worked on this in 2008? Am I going to be retroactively sued?
Change "Praey" to Pray or come up with a different title entirely, Praey does not look good at all.
This should also tell everyone that this is mainly a bullying tactic that mostly works against smaller targets. If EA wanted to make a game with Prey in it badly enough they could probably get their way within reason (calling it Prey as well or especially Prey II would probably not go well). And on a similar note SE has a similar claim to Saga that Bethesda had on Prey.Zenimax already went after that game. Years ago.
But they didn't have to change their title in the end!
I can't boycott Bethesda because Evil Within 2 is getting announced this E3.
Bethesda Softworks published it. Machine Games made it.i wanna like Bethesda for giving us Wolfenstein the new order and Doom 2016 but they keep doing shit like this.
