Option 1. I seriously doubt that they'll lose any business, I think people can make out the difference between "Elder Scrolls" and "Scrolls". Besides, nowadays Skyrim is the name everyone knows the next game as.Kragg said:
Option 2. How many people do you actually think will react that way? I they choose to do this, which I doubt but anyways, I would think it to be totally awesome and if they won; kudos to them. If they lost; kudos for doing it.
Option 3. Well, there I think I agree with you. Though the image dent will probably be minimal, since it's just some dude challenging them at a very random thing.
It would have been awesome if this was face to face at Gamescon, but it's still rather awesome. A good old fashion duel should be pretty fun, but can they stream the battle online?
To be honest, after such intruduction I was expecting a little bit more. Something along the line:Andy Chalk said:Notch Challenges Bethesda to Lawsuit Deathmatch
Minecraft [http://minecraft.net/] creator Markus "Notch" Persson wants to settle Bethesda's Scrolls trademark lawsuit the old-fashioned way: Quake 3 Team Deathmatch! (And he's serious, by the way.)
If Bethesda wins, then Mojang will change the name of Scrolls to something else.
But if the Mojang would win, then Bethesda would have to to change te name of "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" to something else.
And it all would be decided by Quake 3.
Just think of it. Now THAT would be interesting
P.S.
On realism note: I don't expect Bethesda to pick up glove event at current states, and they will probably just go with a court ;/
Wait a minute Bethesda is owned by Zenimax and Zenimax bought id Software...
Notch you fool! You've walked right into their trap!

This is how ALL lawsuits should be handled, who can best who in a challenge of the person BEING sued choice. If I were in that position, it would be in TF2, because thats already about silly mercs in silly hats, how about mercs fighting other silly mercs in silly hats legally.
Bethesda's lawyers won't let them, awesome as it is.
It's a funny challenge, notch, but don't let them get away with bullying you when they don't have a case. You need to defeat them and counter-sue for causing you so much trouble to teach them a lesson.
Either way, I hope people decide to pirate them over this bullshit instead of giving them money which basically rewards their lawyers. Hitting them in the wallet is the only thing they understand, and you have to hit them hard so they remember.

Notch "You sir have insulted my honour. I challenge you to a duel!" *glove slap*
I think every court case, war and any other dipute should be solved like this. Also if Bethesda don't accept this challenge let it be forever known that Bethesda are big girl's bloushes, and chicken.

Good job Bethesda. Reeeeeeeeealy good job. No sane person would suffer game even remotely named after your product.
Also, i'm not exactly sure but it seems that there are some titles with words "the", "elder", "III" and "IV". I do hope you'll sue their owners so no more gamers will fry their brains while trying to distinguish those products. No more victims of "the" curse. No more !

Ah, Notch... he never ceases to bore me. I'd love to see Bethesda do this but I doubt they will because the division of Bethesda that's taking this legal action is really not the game developers(lead by Todd Howard). If it were them it would be more likely but as it is now the legal department will probably consider this a joke and continue with their formalities.
