The OASIS was once a digital utopia, an escape from reality, a virtual playground, and a platform where anyone could be anything. But in this alternate ending to Ready Player One, Wade Watts doesn’t win. IOI does. The corporation seizes control of OASIS, and Halliday’s dream is rewritten as a product to be sold. Now everything has changed. What was once free is now paywalled. What was once limitless is now monetized. Pop-up ads flood the screens of users, and digital consumerism is pushed to players at every corner, making a world once built with imagination turn into one filled with greed and profit-driven incentives. Now, logins are down, the user base is becoming angry, the stakes are rising, and Halliday’s dream continues to dwindle.
In response, the OASIS Oversight Committee has been formed, a high-stakes emergency summit consisting of IOI representatives and original members of the High Five. Their mission: restore OASIS to its former glory.

Delegates will focus on bringing in old and new users, determining virtual governance of OASIS, and the boundaries of paywalls/commercialisation. If OASIS was built to set people free from the confines of reality, the question is now: who controls that freedom?
