Official Digital Maximum

[Aspect™]

​

Digital Maximum started as a small tech startup before the Seven Hour War, specializing in basic software and data management tools. After the Combine took control of Earth, the company quickly shifted its focus to support the new regime, using its existing technology to aid the cross-dimensional alien empire. Their main contribution has been streamlining data processing for the Combine's Civic and Industrial operations, helping keep track of resources and workforce management.

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.

Hi Aspect,

This was an interesting read, the idea of a company loosely contributing to the Combine's technological domination is unique and fitting. As a result, I am pleased to inform you your submission has been accepted as canon lore.

We are looking forward to seeing what comes of this company in the future.
