Another example is ZeniMax Media with Bethesda, where Microsoft also did not interfere in game development. However, even this creative freedom can have its drawbacks. After a failed title Redfall Microsoft throws ashes on its head and eventually intends to control the research a little more so that the degrees obtained are of the expected quality.
