5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

Why would the owners need to keep the system running if they have all the resources and tools?
One need not worry about the game not being able to continue if one already won.
But they are not one, when all the resources and tools are owned by the big companies that is when they fight each other, and for that they need cheap expendable ground troops, so ask yourself "which company do I want to fight for?" The Gaggles of Google, how about Amazon's 6/7 mechanized infantry, or the SpaceX Xforx.
Oh it's gonna all be memes and violence from then on, you will get paid in company money and live in company community's, eventually the world will be devided into roughly country shaped chunks run exclusively by a single corporation or a consortium of smaller companies.
Gonna be just like the utopian sci-fi, you know Neromancer, Blade Runner, Cyberpunk, and my favorite Downbelow Station.
That's not what I meant by "one", but nvm.
Also, if we ever reach that point, I'm not fighting for any of them. And not just for moral reasons - it will be more profitable to steal from them, and since the social contract will be broken anyway...
But I'd rather fo my best now to make sure that doesn't happen to begin with, and I thankfully live somewhere where my effort might actually might make some impact (the European Union).
