onric: In the court of online gamers' opinions, the early feedback covers the full spectrum, from strongly supporting Mythic to calling the suit a money grab. Is this perhaps an area where both parties will end up losing?

Mark Jacobs: Gamers are, of course, entitled to their opinions, and we expected some negative reaction to the lawsuit. However, we expect most of the reaction to be positive, especially after people get to see the complaint. We are not asking them to stop making the game. This lawsuit is not about having Microsoft backing up an armored car full of money to our doors; it's about our company being able to use its federally registered trademark. We want them to change the name of Mythica and to take corrective measures, such as advertising, in order to undo the damage that as already occurred. We have spent six years building up the Mythic name and we are entitled to keep using the name free of the confusion and damage that has occurred since Microsoft announced Mythica.
