Id were one of the last real independent developers, but they were privately owned so I guess the deal made sense for them (maybe John needs more money for spaceships).

Bar existing deals, Bethesda will now publish all of id’s titles going forward, and allegedly the management of id will remain as is.

Still, it does feel a bit like the end of an era, the absorption of what is, to me at least, the most iconic game developer out there.
