Bigace360 38 Report post Posted December 12, 2011 (edited) Apparently the creators of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (Bethesda Softworks) had a contest out that stated whoever named their kid Dovahkiin after the main character on the day of 11/11/11 would get free games from the manufacturer for life. http://lifestyle.msn...mentid=31586293 I guess the kid could get like a name change later or something. Thoughts? Edited December 12, 2011 by bigace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joman195 9 Report post Posted December 12, 2011 That was a little messed up on both Bethesda and the parent's part, imagine what that kid will go through. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marked 197 Report post Posted December 13, 2011 Are that many parents interested in video games though? In my opinion thats definitely unethical on Bethesda's part (or whoever did it), and there are a lot of stupid parents out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
isaacsol 10 Report post Posted December 13, 2011 At the end of the day, Bethesda have no responsibility for what people name their children. As a parent I can say that at the end of the day, it was my choice. If people want to have free games for live in naming their child that, then they need to prioritise things better.

True, Bethesda probably meant it as a joke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But there are those who are weak minded and impressionable. Am I responsible for coercing a younger person into doing an illegal act when they will not say no? Its the only example I can really think of lol coz it reminds of a certain statute where those who persuade a person into doing a crime are still liable for that crime, even though they were not the one who actually carried it out. You see my point? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
isaacsol 10 Report post Posted December 13, 2011 True, but they have done no crime and neither have they asked or actually gone out to get someone to do it; all they have said is that if someone does it, they will give them said items. In legal terms, that wouldn't be reprehensible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
