How come RAGE is on the Bethesda website, has a Bethesda forum, ID is now owned by Zenimax and Bethesda is featured on the game box but because it had a crappy start it has ABSOLUTLY nothing to do with it?... Sounds kinda hokey. I bet if thier release was epicly flawless all we would hear is how bethesda made it so....
There's multiple layers to a company.
The Bethesda "Softworks" is the company that produced RAGE (initally EA), but RAGE was developed ( = built/made) by Id.
Bethesda "Game Studios" is developing Skyrim...
They aren't even in the same State... Bethesda Game Studios is in Maryland, Id Software is in Texas.
