Dude, I've been looking for the articles since joining this topic.. sadly I was looking at it from in bed from my iPhone.. it's interesting you talk about quantum physics, unfortunately, that's something I will have to do my homework on because I know nothing on the subject.
No worries... Take your time.
I think it would be also interesting for you to look into FREE WILL and the opinion of neuroscientists who apparently at the moment don't believe FREE WILL exists..
I watched a couple of videos on the subject yesterday. I am not fully convinced yet but looks like hard determinism is winning the battle.

The most interesting video was this one.
The Simulation Theory - Hacking Reality (Must See):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRmZ_sNf2mE&tThe gist of the video is that we are just mere shadows of objects in the 8th dimension. This simulation theory is different from the computational one.
Mind to share how do you differentiate? I guess a game should have a certain winning conditions and, perhaps, stricter set of rules while simulation`s sole point is to reproduce/create reality without letting subjects inside the simulation know what is actually going on.
You got it right. But there is no conclusive evidence of it being a game instead of a simulation and vice versa. You can argue it is a game. All these 'gods' were bored beings, they entered our server introduced themselves and left the server after having some fun. They may return or they may not at all. The possibilities are endless and we are clueless about what's actually going on.
Lol, was this article written by a troll?
"There is a caveat to this conclusion: if our universe is a simulation, there is no reason that the laws of physics should apply outside it. In the words of Zohar Ringel, the lead author of the paper, “Who knows what are the computing capabilities of whatever simulates us?” "
