Bethesda Softworks owns both Bethesda Studios and Zenimax Studios. Zenimax is simply doing the online version so Bethesda Studios can continue to work on the single player TES VI.

There was no change in ownership; a second studio of the same company was given the MMO version because Zenimax Online Studios are specialized in? Online gaming.

Have no worry that TES VI will be awesome. Though I may wait until it's GOTY or it's own version of Legendary comes out so I can get all of the DLC with the vanilla game for less. Skyrim can keep me busy for years to come, still
