We have reported of the Zenimax purchase of id Software before. Originally, the rights to publish the post-apocalyptic shooter Rage remained with EA, but Bethesda's publishing arm has now bought out said rights, GameSpot reports.

After Zenimax announced the acquisition, EA said that it had retained the rights to publish Rage, which has not yet been dated for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, and Mac. However, that changed today, as Zenimax announced that Rage will now be published by its subsidiary Bethesda Softworks.

Zenimax explicitly noted that EA will no longer be involved in any way with the game's sale or marketing. Bethesda's parent company further stated that Rage's development will not be affected by the change in publisher.

This means Bethesda has an outside shot at publishing a decent outhouse game for the first time in its publishing career.

Thanks ][avok.

Rage will suck because it's being published by Beth.

I was also considering buying this game because of it's PA theme.

It might turn out to be good but I really don't want to support Zenimax Bethesda in any way.

I want the company to fail and it's people to be fired, being forced to take on jobs outside the gaming industry which they so love to rip off for loads of cash.

Yeah I know that is rather childish, but I really don't like them.

Edit: About? I meant 'outside'

I would normally agree on beth hate here, but then i remembered that the previous publisher is ea Evil or Very Mad

It's like choosing between jumping off a cliff and jumping of a tower. The result is still pretty much the same!

Eh, all the corporations are run by reptilians.

In the end, Zeni-Beth is no worse than Microsoft or Walmart. They're all designed to do the same thing. Some are more convincing (deceptive) than others.

Not spending money on any bethesda or zenimax products again, lest I want to support the new EA that's coming out into the light. I will download it though Smile

It takes true arbitrary grit to work up anger at this. Well done, men.
