The development company behind ESO is Zenimax Online and it's being published by Bethesda Softworks. Whereas TES is a game that is devloped by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. Both of the Bethesda companies were bought by ZeniMax before the release of Morrowind. The business model that was settled upon would have been a joint consensus of Bethesda Softworls, ZeniMax Online and ZeniMax Media (the parent company to the whole thing).
