Are video game companies like Bethesda, Rockstar etc companies that just publish other companies games? Or is Bethesda over there grinding to make ES6 and Fallout.
I’m confused because I know a different company made doom eternal but Bethesda has its name on it.
In: Technology
Bethesa and Rockstar both publish and develop games. They’re different parts of the same company, but all under the same management.
E.g. Skyrim was developed and published by Bethesda. Doom was published by Bethesda but developed by id.
Bethesda and Rockstar both began solely as developers but started publishing as they got bigger and more successful.
This can get complicated because publishers can own developers that aren’t technically part of the same company. Bioware is not part of EA but it’s owned by EA.
Bethesda (the developer) and id software are both owned by Zenimax, which also owns Bethesda (the publisher). All Zenimax games are published by Bethesda, but not all of them are developed by Bethesda.
