Term for simulation-believer?

[excreationist]

Is there a term for people who believe we're in a video game?

It looks like "simulationist" is already an art term...

Hi I'm a "Sim"???? BTW in the Sim games they don't have an external existence.... (like in the Matrix where people have an external aspect)

Also Sims (in Sims games) generally wouldn't believe they're in a video game....

Delusionist?

Also Sims (in Sims games) generally wouldn't believe they're in a video game....

If you watch the news ticker in various later versions of Simcity, the Sims occasionally question the contours of their existence with a conspiratorial edge.

On a more serious note, that proposal is usually called the simulation hypothesis, but I don't know if it has a catchy nominative version.

SOLIPSIST ?

That could be appropriate if they believe that all of the other people are just simulations, but if it is like the Matrix movies, most of the other people are "real" (in some sense)

Delusionist?

No more so then religion. Simulation is more likely than God or gods.

My term is "The guy you shouldn't invite to your party."

My term is "The guy you shouldn't invite to your party."

What if they think it is very likely we're in a simulation but they don't use it as an excuse to act weird? (e.g. Elon Musk and me recently)
