    Also don’t Bethesda handle Doom, now?

    No, id Software is the developer company, which is owned by the publisher and published by Bethesda Softworks, both of which are owned by ZeniMax. The “Bethesda” that does actual game development is called Bethesda Game Studios; they handle franchises like Fallout and TES.

    • Which one is talking in the article though? I am not sure who Jill Braff is; boss of the game development studio, or the larger publishing part of “Bethesda?” I thought Todd was the main person in charge of the game dev studio part, so I assume this is coming from the publishing part of Bethesda.

        Bethesda is hit particularly hard by the layoffs, IGN understands, with staff across its many development studios

        It’s talking about the publisher.
