The Simulation Hypothesis is the proposition that the universe is a simulation, effectively a game of sorts. Video Games are posited as the bridge to a future where a universe might be simulated , making these arguments intertwined. In the study and design of games though, the simulation fallacy has crept into many of our assumptions about the medium, making it hard to leverage its unique strengths, and instead fixates us on replicating reality in graphics or in process.
