Jill Braff, head of ZeniMax studios, said in the town hall that she hoped the reorganization would allow the division, which also develops Fallout and Doom, to put more focus on fewer projects.

This basically confirms the decision was to make Bethesda focus solely on Elder Scrolls, Fallout...Maybe Doom.

Where does that leave MachineGames then? After Indiana Jones, we have no idea what they're working on. 

They do love the Quake series if they wanna take that off of id Software's hands. 

Probably doing more licensed games.  When you think about it a license game gives the best possible outcome for the game to recoup the cost of development if the license is popular enough.  You only have to look at the license games coming from Sony to see how well that works out.  I believe there will be a group dedicated to pumping out some popular license.  A group you working solely on popular internal IP and you might even have some working on smaller games or AA games but we will see with that.  I am not surprised now that I look at the dynamics to see this consolidation because if we look at how well other split studios have gone, they have not been all that successful.  Splitting your teams to make more games isn't always the best solution and in certain situations it just split your ability to develop quality within the games you are doing because you just do not have enough senior people working on the project.
