Microsoft buying ZeniMax - anything can be done for ET?

Hi,

With Microsoft moving on to buy ZeniMax, does anyone here has the faintest idea what it could mean for ET's future (inb4 dead game jokes)? I know it's early but maybe this big piece of news represents an opportunity to get things moving on concerning ET and its availability on the gaming market...

I remember looking into old journal entries where people would talk about their discussion with ZeniMax (and Activision) concerning a potential game release on Steam, saying that for a number of reasons including legal reasons, things would not go further, leaving ET cornered waiting for its demise.

Now that ZeniMax is being bought by Microsoft, could it mean anything different for ET? When the deal is formerly done, maybe it's going to be time for a new wakeup call to the Wolfenstein franchise's new owner as a way of saying there are still people out there who cares about ET and would love to see rise new opportunities for the game to have more visibility and more attractivity.

Anyway, I'm probably just dreaming about the whole thing but I'd at least would have liked to hear from much more competent people on the matter than me their informed opinion and see a bit of discussion going on.

Greetings,
RASHOMON
