MultiCo Entertainment Holdings is the entity that owns and controls THE FINALS game show.
Story
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.
Ahead of CNS's major attack on the game show, a member named "4RCU5" leaked a confidential and heavily censored document belonging to MultiCo. Following the full break-in, MultiCo enlisted the services of VAIIYA to contain and remove CNS's presence. This resulted in the AI controlling THE FINALS to transport the game show setting to 16th century feudal Japan.
MultiCo later sent representative Marcel (nicknamed "Merciless Marcel") to speak directly to the sponsors of THE FINALS and reduce the focus on some of CNS's changes, instead putting more of the spotlight on the sponsors themselves.
MuCoDOS
When selecting the Credits from the main menu of THE FINALS, it first shows a "startup screen." The words "LOAD CREDITS" are typed as a command. The screen flashes, and the credits screen starts. Both the start screen and command itself are similar to the Commodore 64 (C64).
At the top right of the startup screen is the name "MuCoDOS." This is the MultiCo operating system, with MuCo being short for "MultiCo" and DOS being short for "Disk Operating System."
More information about the operating system can be found below the title. The copyright is set in 1982, the same year that the C64 was released. As expected, the owner of the operating system is MultiCo. The date on the last line is the exact time that THE FINALS was fully released by Embark Studios.
Leaked Document
Both pages of a confidential MultiCo document were posted to the CNS subreddit by the user "4RCU5." The first was leaked on March 3, 2024; much of the page's text is censored with black bars, though certain words have been left visible, revealing some information about the contents of the document. The second page was posted days later with similar levels of censorship.
