In the ARG the bombs already have fallen 5 days ago.

I would think so too, but if they don't order a cease and desist then doesn't their copyright become meaningless?

That's what I have been saying since this all started. It's free hype for Bethesda and as long as the people behind this aren't making money there is no real reason for Bethesda to take legal action.

If this is fake, the people behind it could be betting that Fallout 4 will be announced soon. Bethesda might be getting ready to announce it and this is all just a nice coincidence.

Precisely. I posted a while back, that for better or worse, this is free publicity for them. They couldn't generate this kind of hype any better on their own.

It takes two weeks to have copyrighted IP taken down and that's presuming Beth hates free hype... styles was spot on in the message you quoted.

Hahahahaha.

This would be a very expensive hoax if that's what it is. I was seriously expecting concept art though...

Considering the sheer power that Bethesda's legal team posses and how common it is for other people to try and use a game developers clout to garner attention to

themselves and benefit from it yes. Not to mention the fact that they paid a good chunk of change for the IP, or the fact that copyright infringement is dealt with swiftly

regardless of the context it's used it, anyone who tries to upload music to YT can tell you that.

And that we will do.

don't you think a hoaxer would make a countdown based on that fact as well?

Well I hope that crap coding mumbling will end in 10 days as the bigger countdown states, if it will turn into another code I 'll stop caring aboutthis nonsense ...

Honestly if is going like that for a whole year I doubt they will be able to keep people hyped more .

Only if people are making money off all of this.

All the fan made youtube videos using Bethesda content and all that would be taken down if Bethesda cared about their copy rights to such an extreme.

Ever thought about it why the main timer of the ARG ends at the 10.12.2013? VGX is at the 07.12.2013? :)

Seriously, do we all have short-term memories?

The two main reasons I treat this site as legit is that while what Rohugh and Styles are suggesting is certainly plausible, Bethesda's history of handling such matters suggests this would've been shot down if it were fake. Meanwhile, the style of the site, AKA a rather pathetic tease that provides next to no information whatsoever while expecting people to wait a good month for any actual info? That has Bethesda written all over it. I mean forgive me if I'm mistaken, but wasn't Dawnguard's initial tease a friggin' PICTURE with the DLC name on it? And people spent a good month anolyzing every inch of it?

No.

First, you're thinking about trademarks, not copyrights. Second, trademark dilution this way not work.

Sure, if they could afford to fund this website with a server that can handle all this traffic stress. And also somehow license it to Bethesda and Zenimax without taking heat from their lawyers for copyright infringement.

That's rude. There's a whole lot of points in favor of the site being real, and also one could claim that the [censored] up and the lame [censored] the countdown was leading to is proof that it is Bethesda. I mean, think about it: Dragonborn was promoted as being Skyrim: Lonesome Road with Miraak being the man, turns out he was just HM's [censored]; the games always being full of bugs. Beth is famous about this [censored].

So you are saying the count down is after the awards? Isn't that just mean it's fake. Why announce Fallout 4 after such an event?

a hoaxer would have registered as Bethesda as well. Everything that's been done could have been done by a hoaxer.
