This is a list of all known companies involved with owning, distributing, or developing Oni. Some of these rights may have lapsed since the time period of Oni's release (Jan. 2001), so in one column we list the rights as of that time, then, to the best of our knowledge, we give the current status of those rights.

*Second-hand copies can be found on sites such as Amazon and eBay.
GoD was simply a subsidiary of T2. Most sources give GoD as the Windows distributor, but the box itself seems to have the Rockstar logo on it.
