Which game companies has Microsoft absorbed? My understanding was they've left most of their game acquisitions alone to do their own thing
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_Game_Studios#Subsidiaries_and_divisions everything under Xbox Game Studios, Zenimax is currently in the process of being moved under Xbox Game Studios (or, rather, studios under the Zenimax name are, zenimax will cease to exist once that is complete)
Everyone has been absorbed. I don't know where you got that understanding from, they absolutely are not left to do their own thing.
