Is this not correct?

I posted this in the Xbox OT, it includes a photo of the filing. I was wondering too about that number. In the filing it mentions 8 subsidiaries and 10 wholly integrated studios - whatever that means

Bernkastel pointed out in the OT that Playground, inXile and Undead labs all have 2 studios, so with the15 initial studios it gives a total of 18 studios.

Hmm if one company have multiple workspaces (holy shit what, the better word for it...umm multiple location of such company) is it count as multiple studios. Because...it's Wednesday tomorrow...

So in the end we're looking at 26 studios after the Zenimax purchase?
That's kinda crazy tbh.

Interestingly Undead Labs second studio in New Orleans is never mentioned anywhere including Wikipedia even though it does exist.

Announcement from Undead Labs - Undead Labs

Today we are excited to announce that the Undead Labs Studio Head and Founder, Jeff Strain, is launching an exciting new initiative.

Then we have to deal with stuffs like Arkane Austin and Lyon, and other subsidiaries like id Software Frankfurt and Zenimax Online Studios San Diego. Lets just treat them as one.

I've always considered Playground as 2 studios. They bought Playground 1 to continue making Forza Horizon and built Playground 2 to make Fable. I didn't know about inXile or Undead though.

AND if Xbox is buying anything on Wednesday I hope it's Asobo or Bloober or Eidos Montreal or Crystal Dynamics and NOT Sega. I just do not get the obsession with Sega,

It's fun and I care about Alpha Protocol and since Obsidian is owned by MS, makes perfect sense.

Makes sense. So it's back to 15 and 23 after Zenimax?
