![]() It is unknown what happens to IOI after this, but it can be safe to assume that the company was shut down, after being accused of blackmail, terrorism, murder, and attempted murder (at least for Wade, Art3mis, and Shoto), and the board of directors arrested and tried. Only Parz3val managed to make it there, though he still succeeded in completing it before Sorrento or any of his Sixers could, resulting in ownership going to him rather than IOI. They faced opposition from an army comprised of a large percentage of the OASIS' users, resulting in a showdown between IOI and the OASIS players while Parz3val and the other members of the "High Five" attempted to make it to the keyhole before IOI could complete the final puzzle. However, Wade survived the assassination attempt, not being in his trailer at the time, with IOI managing to only off Wade's aunt and her boyfriend.ĭespite this, IOI eventually managed to obtain all of the keys and track down the location for them to be inserted, a castle on Planet Doom. IOI instantly set to tracking him down to cut a deal with him and get him to turn over the key but Wade refused, prompting them to go with their backup plan of blowing up Wade's trailer in an attempt to kill him. However, the first person to find the Copper Key was not an employee of theirs, but a player by the username of "Parz3val" (real name Wade Watts). ![]() Their army was dubbed the "Sixers" due to each of their usernames being their IOI employee ID, which always started off with a "6". To do this, IOI assembled a team of Halliday and 80s pop culture experts to complete the riddle Halliday had left behind alluding to the first key's location, as well as an in-game army of their employees to recover the key and complete the quest, headed by their Chief Operations Officer (CEO in the movie) Nolan Sorrento. After James Halliday died and left ownership of the OASIS up to whoever could complete his "Easter egg" hunt (finding three keys and delivering them to the correct location) IOI decided to exploit a loophole in the hunt by having one of their employees complete the hunt which, through a legal contract, would ultimately cause ownership of the OASIS to fall to them. Presumably founded after the OASIS launched, IOI gained a reputation as the world's largest internet service provider by acquiring (or forming) hundreds of telecom companies, big or small. ![]() Prior to the "Easter egg" hunt, IOI was a company that sold services within the OASIS among other things.
