Despite being a relatively obscure player in the pre-invasion tech world, Digital Maximum's willingness to collaborate with the Combine invaders gave them a unique and favorable position in the new regime unlike most of their peers and competitors. This alliance has ensured their continued survival and relevance in the newly occupied world.
Today, Digital Maximum continues advancing its data management systems, which, at its inception, loosely contributed to the creation of the Combine's Artificial Intelligence Command & Control System, today commonly referred to as 'Overwatch' or 'Dispatch.' Though their contributions continue to be rather minor and 'in the background', the company takes quiet pride in their contribution and has grown complacent in the new world order.
