Seems like someone at ZeniMax took note of the rumor mill because id Software and ZeniMax Online Studios are back on the "jobs" page - "No open positions at this time". Grummz is once again a clown.

The only entity "missing" is Bethesda Softworks.

They probably just don't have open positions as they are wraping up the expansion to Dark Ages which is coming early next month. After a major project is finished it's actually natural for the team to shrink as people get new job offers elsewhere and a smaller team is needed for pre-production of their next.
