ZeniMax Online Studios Interview

The guys at Ten Ton Hammer were able to fire over a set of questions to ZeniMax Online Studios' Matt Firor about their future MMORPG plans.
Q: How has the relationship been with ZeniMax's parent company Bethesda? What is it like working with such a strong game studio?

A: Actually it's the other way around I know this is confusing, so I'll spell it out. ZeniMax Media, Inc. owns Bethesda Softworks, and it has started ZeniMax Online Studios. So think of Bethesda and ZeniMax Online as sister companies, both under the ZeniMax Media umbrella. Of course in terms of accomplishment, Bethesda is miles ahead of where ZeniMax Online is right now they have a great track record and a very solid team with my group I only hope to emulate their success.

And, as I'm getting Zenimax Online off the ground, the Bethesda guys have been fantastic they have a lot of great tools and procedures that I'll probably take from them, and their leadership has been extraordinarily helpful in accepting the idea of an MMOG studio and helping me settle in.
