Mega Corp: Difference between revisions

(Turns out this NPR article isn't just making wild speculation, but wild speculation that's '''impossible''' under Article 8 Section 4 of the Florida Constitution. Removing it as any attempts to rehabilitate it would simply be natter.) |

Line 275:
* ''[[Dystopia (video game)|Dystopia]]'' has Datatrust, a mysterious corporation that has even [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|demonstrated control over the development team]].
* ''[[Ace Combat 3 Electrosphere]]'' features this in the form of General Resource Ltd. and Neucom Inc., who are at war with each other at the start of the game. The series returned to national conflict setup with ''[[Ace Combat 04 Shattered Skies|04]]'', but chillingly, ''[[Ace Combat 5 The Unsung War|5]]'', ''[[Ace Combat Zero|Zero]]'', and particularly ''[[Ace Combat Advance|Advance]]'' gives General Resource a [[Start of Darkness]], having them start from a humble arms company called {{spoiler|South Belkan Munitions Factory, later Grunder Industries}}. Neucom, meanwhile, started off as the {{spoiler|Erusean Air and Space Administration}}, the clandestine organization behind the high-tech gadgetry of Eruseans in the aforementioned ''04'', including the famed [[Infinity+1 Sword|superfighter X-02 Wyvern]].
** In fact the entire series between ''Electrosphere'' and the [[Continuity Reboot]] with ''[[Ace Combat Joint Assault|Joint Assault]]'' (except maybe ''[[Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation|6]]'') can be safely considered one giant [[Prequel]] to the Usean Corporate War.
* The [[Big Bad]] in ''[[Fur Fighters]]'' sent up his own vast Mega Corp at some point and it's shown throughout the game at many points doing many different things. Presumably Viggo got the money for everything from getting advanced technology from the dinosaurs (don't ask) and then decided to bid massive air-craft-carries and submarines to conquer the world.
* The Post-Terran Mining Corporation in ''[[Descent]]''. All they do is mining, but they control dozens (that we see) of incredibly large mines in at least eight star systems (likely more). They also have their own mercenary force, which is large enough that the ''combined Sol System military'' considers it a legitimate threat.
