I don't think that will work. Either you need to have the players legally liable for any damage and injury they cause, or you have created a platform for motivated psychopaths and terrorists to kill people with impunity.

The thought experiment (based on that ender reference) assumes nobody knows their actions are being mirrored in reality.

I know, I just don't think that's feasible. The outcome would be some people figuring it out, and having legal cover to commit murder since they were just playing a game. Cue long legal battle over culpability.
