Since the usual BOYCOTT ALL THE EVIL AAA GAMES chat is in vogue right now. I mean, there's the usual listed ones.
Activison/Blizzard, EA, Square Enix, TakeTwo (more commonly referenced as subsidiaries 2k and Rockstar), Ubisoft
The acknowledged, but not usually grouped together with the top crowd.
Bandai Namco, Capcom, CDPR, Konami, Microsoft, Nintendo, SEGA, Sony, Valve, WBGames, Zenimax.
Some of those do have a definite distinction of being large studios, but not publishers of other studios things or franchise collectors (in the sense of buying up other IPs, not in the sense of sitting on their own).
Then there's the fringe crowd where you Devolver, THQ Nordic and a few others. The ones that put out the 40-50 games with that relatively recent AA labelling. Which has been quietly sneaking up from the relative standard 15-20 that indie titles used to run. Deep Silver who run AAA pricing but would generally not be regarded to the same standards. Weird leftover presences like Atari SA.
