Microsoft purchased Zenimax (bethesda's publisher) MS now also owns ID Software (Quake & Doom), Arkane (Wolfestein& Prey), along with more studios that i do not recall the name of but include games such as Tokyo Ghostwire & Deathloop (both upcoming), Dishonored and Evil Within so this is huge
The fact that 3/4 of those games you listed originally came out 25(or 30) years ago and that's still their "bread and butter" is proof that "capitalism breeds innovation" is bullshit.
This is exactly it. Capitalists just assume that the Venn diagram of "profitable innovation" and "socially useful innovation" is a circle, but the evidence entirely refutes that. I mean really, it's only the idealists who believe that. Actual capitalist economists would see it how we see it, they just think we need to put "incentives" in place to correct it.
It's like how we have a desperate need for new antibiotics but none are being developed since it's not profitable. I mean there are a million examples but that was the first one that popped into my head.

Doom Eternal is still different than original Doom. The main similarity is the core concept.
Oh man I'm genuinely worried for Arkane.
EDIT: Wait I think you got mixed up? Wolfenstein was made by Machine Games, and Dishonored was made by Arkane
youre right but machines games is under zenimax
