It’s a maze of twisty passages that gets there…
Infocom was bought by Activision, which later got merged into Activision Blizzard, which Microsoft later bought.

And apparently Microsoft originally wanted to buy the rights all the way back in the 80s! It only took them 40 years…

I am now imagining Microsoft making a new Zork game that is a graphical feast and not at all similar to the OG other than killing you outright if you spend too long in the dark.

I mean, arguably this was done years ago with Return to Zork, Zork: Nemesis, and Zork: Grand Inquisitor. They shared a bit of the humor of the originals, but they were still pretty different.
