They want to ensure their business is working well, so they shutdown the parts that were working well, and left those that are failing miserably. Logic checks out
they got the IP, that's all they wanted.
Don't forget removing competitors! Gotta remove those competitors. That's what healthy businesses do. /s

Can't you buy the rights to an IP without the attached studio ?
You can try, but people won't be as thrilled for TES or Fallout without Bethesda, for example.
I would be.
I can understand that, yea. But I know I would be! It's high time something changes in that regard
FO5 is going to be a FO76 tier disaster. With the show there has to be a ton of pressure to crank something out the door. Microsoft’s folks are probably beating down Todd’s door. Bethesda has never really understood the series anyways.
If TES6 comes out, it’ll have 3 skills and ignore all established lore to turn an interesting and nuanced character into Bad Guy who wants to destroy the world for no reason. Admittedly normies really like this version of the series, so maybe it’ll still be wildly successful.
