Following the announcement of Microsoft’s $68.7 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard, many gamers are wondering exactly how many game companies, and game franchises, Microsoft now owns. Is it, like, all of them? Not quite, but it is a lot. An awful lot. Activision Blizzard is itself the result of a 2008 merger between two gaming giants, namely Activision and Vivendi (which previously owned Blizzard). While it might be the biggest gaming acquisition in Microsoft’s history (in games industry history, in fact), it’s certainly not the first.

To help you keep track of who owns which of your favorite games companies and games franchises, we’ve compiled this brief (just kidding, it’s huge!) list of all the major publishers, developers, and franchises Microsoft owns. Please note that although the acquisition of Activision Blizzard hasn’t actually been completed yet, we’re including Activision Blizzard and everything it owns because it would rather defeat the object not to.
