That’s essentially what games are. They are man-made programs with their own rules and “exploits”/quirks that one has to master to the fullest if they want to be competitively good. For a while (I don’t play it anymore) I was a top 1%-ranked online player in PES (Pro Evolution Soccer) and once a fellow player laughed at the stupidity of comparing a game in PES to an actual soccer match, which I had to agree with.
