So, as I've noted above, other studios besides id use idTech at Bethesda -- you could argue that MachineGames doing the Wolfenstein games is still an id property, but Tango used it for The Evil Within, too. And I did say "or something geared for their RPGs." I couldn't remember the name Creation Engine when I was posting on my phone at a Christmas gathering.
- theandrewbailey 10y agoMachineGames and Tango are owned by ZeniMax[0], the Bethesda parent company. I faintly remember someone (Carmack, maybe?) mentioning that idTech5 would only be licensed to studios within ZeniMax.[1] Of course, anyone can use idTech up to 4, since those are open source, and were licensed out.

- cwyers 10y agoYes, MachineGames and Tango are owned by ZeniMax. They are published by Bethesda Softworks, the parent company of Bethesda Game Studios and a ZeniMax subsidiary. I don't really understand the point of this faux pedantry, seeing as there is a meaning of Bethesda that fits my post.
