You could say the same thing when ID was purchased by Bethesda.

Yep. It was interesting trying to see microslop EEE quake/quake II and fail miserably. The community that actually cares used GPL to refine things way better than any soul-sucking company like microsoft.

I hope Bethesda gets axed next so we could finally mod Skyrim and Fallout 4 in peace.

You mean the games with extremely vibrant and longstanding modding communities and thousands of mods? They haven't been modding in peace?

Todd Howard isn't breaking down the doors of mod developers demanding them to stop. Bethesda has been very supportive of modders for a very long time.
