That's why I find idea that no gamer in Ready Player One tried running a car backward offensive.
Its like, people rub against every square inch of geometry in say, Destiny 2, just to get out of bounds. It's insane that no one just...tried cause they're bored even.
or getting under stormwind, haha. good times.
Or old 3D platformers that didn't disable collision on visual detail bits, so you could do skips or get out of bounds.
I was a frequent flyer in mod chat because I got stuck out of bounds a lot back in the day.
There’s a little explanation in that it costs to get in to the race. So naturally people wouldn’t want to waste the attempt, except there’s always someone that will pay the fee and try just about anything.
That might buy you a few days, but not the absurd amount of time in the story.
Especially when the prize is that big.
The book had a much better story for the first key.
I mean, how did he have the foresight to know that almost everyone would go to school inside his videogame?
He didnt, the intent was to put it somewhere that everyone could and should access, a place of learning. No gatekeeping, no financial or age restrictions.
Actually not that unprecedented https://youtu.be/gPagHHIfvlg
Very cool.
