This is a list of all known companies involved with [[Oni]]. Some of these rights may have lapsed since Oni's release in Jan. 2001, so in one column we list the rights that were held at one time, then we give the current status of those rights to the best of our knowledge. Since the distributors of the Windows and Mac versions are no longer selling Oni on their online stores, fans should look for secondhand copies on sites where people re-sell items, such as Amazon and eBay.
This is a list of all known companies involved with [[Oni]]. This information comes from the [[:Category:Manuals|manuals]], the box art, and community knowledge. Some companies' rights may have lapsed since Oni's release in 2001, so in one column we list the rights that were held at one time, then we give the current status of those rights to the best of our knowledge.
 
For a table showing which companies' logos appear on different versions of Oni's packaging, see [[Logos]]; for pictures of the boxes and discs, see [[:Category:Packaging images]]. Note that the logos on the boxes are not always thorough or even accurate with regards to rights.
 
Many people believe that Bungie still owns Oni's [[wp:IP_rights|IP]], or that it's Microsoft who owns it since they bought Bungie before Oni's release. For the story of how Take-Two came to own Oni, see the Oni article's [[Oni#Buyout|Buyout]] section.
 
Since the distributors of the Windows and Mac versions are no longer selling Oni on their online stores, fans who wish to own the game should look for secondhand copies on sites where people re-sell items, such as Amazon and eBay.
