While they try to make it to Dev Island (which is out of normal game bounds), there’s a car chase scene while the game rapidly collapses around them. Note that the conceit of this film is that the IRL evil devs don’t actually have a way to ban NPCs, delete his car, or basically do anything, really. Good Guy Coder is taken away by security but surreptitiously adds ramps into the game to help them get away. Reynolds gets to the beach and this scene occurs as the server disconnects all players and the lady coder fades away like she’s been snapped by Thanos.

just thinking about compile errors right now

but really, why is it so much to ask that a medium, or profession or basic science be represented with a dash of accuracy? it feels like video games has already been cannibalised and commodified to such an incredible degree as a new art form that its now spilling over into movies which are similarly devolving into just shoving brands in consumers' faces
