THE FINALS takes place about 75 years in the future, roughly around the year 2100. It is the greatest virtual game show on the planet, with a large, global fan base, and considered a window to a bigger world outside of the real one - known as the Meatspace.
Virtual reality is where most people spend their time, and THE FINALS allows them to join as contestants to play in hyper-realistic arenas and fight for fame, money, and the favor of generous seasonal Sponsors. Both THE FINALS and the showrunners are overseen by MultiCo, a company with origins dating back to the 1980s.
Recently, THE FINALS was hacked by a rogue group known as CNS, who claimed they were taking back what was theirs and changed the game by adding new equipment, a new arena, and a new gamemode. Although their existence was acknowledged by MultiCo and THE FINALS commentators, Scotty and June, the true motivations of CNS are still unknown.
After the CNS take-over, the showrunners brought in cybersecurity experts VAIIYA, to stabilize the game show. During their shutdown attempt, it was revealed that THE FINALS is a sentient AI program capable of defending itself. Under this threat, THE FINALS AI deployed countermeasures that rebooted the system into a different time and era in the 1500s.
Timeline
At some point prior to or during 1982, MultiCo was founded. Over time, it grew in size and eventually either created, or came into ownership of, THE FINALS, a virtual reality game show in which contestants compete to earn fame and fortune. The game show has a massive global audience, and attracts several sponsors that help fund the show to promote their brand and products. Some of these sponsors, such as HOLTOW, ISEUL-T, and ENGIMO, are subsidiaries of MultiCo.
In most likely the 1980s or 1990s, MultiCo developed an operating system called MuCoDOS. It features a command line interface similar to that of the Commodore 64. The system may have been, or still is, involved in operating parts of the game show.
By roughly the year 2100, virtual reality is where most of the world's population spend their time, with the real word being referred to as "the meatspace."
