Microsoft closed Arkane Studios after the disaster that was Redfall when most of the poor choices came from Bethesda and Microsoft

Bethesda and Arkane had a common owner, ZeniMax. Bethesda itself didn't own Arkane.

I always forget that ZeniMax even exists, honestly. They're all just Bethesda to me. In my mind I just picture them as "big Bethesda" and "little Bethesda." Regardless, they were all bought by Microsoft so it was probably Microsoft that fucked over Arkane. So it's kind of a moot point anyways.
