You've completely misread my posts, then. The guaranteed success I'm referring to are the console, non-MMO TES games that are released every 5-7 years. Not an MMO. I have no idea why anyone in their right mind would try making an MMO.
Quote:As for your edit, ZeniMax owns Bethesda Softworks. Bethesda is a subsidiary of ZeniMax.
When someone refers to Bethesda publishing a game, they're referring to Bethesda Softworks (which encompasses the overarching, publishing component of the company). When someone refers to Bethesda developing a game, they're referring to Bethesda Game Studios, the more prominently known 'game-dev' component of the company.
When someone refers to ZeniMax publishing a game, they're referring to the overarching company that 'owns' numerous other companies, including Bethesda Softworks and id Software. When someone refers to ZeniMax developing an MMO game, they're referring to ZeniMax Online Studios, the 'MMO game-dev' component of the company.
My point is, Bethesda Game Studios and ZeniMax Online Studios are two different studios. ZeniMax Online Studios is making an MMO. This does not in any way restrict the time Bethesda has to create a non-MMO TES release (or Fallout, or whatever their next project is. I'm guessing Fallout).
