i imagine Google did not buy Zenimax because they seem to operate on a very compressed timeline for their new projects which makes any corporate courtship hard to pull off. so unless Google came with an obscene "instant yes" offer to Zenimax then both sides would have had to enter some kind of protracted negotiations and talks, which doesn't seem to jive with Google's half in/half out attitude towards new products.
