Zork was created by students at MIT in 1979. The same year, they formed Infocom to commercialise it. In 1986, Infocom was bought by Activision, which became Mediagenic and then reverted to Activision. It created a holding company which merged with Vivendi Games in 2008 to form Activision Blizzard. Microsoft acquired Activison Blizzard in 2023.

I have failed as a father to educate him.

The restrictive license surrounding this part of the universe crumples onto the ground and disappears in a cloud of black smoke.
