But what if "God" created the universe this way because it's the only way anything interesting happens? ... not that I believe in God but it's not like we design 'that' many perfectly predictable games despite computers being literally always predictable. (not factoring in specific hardware like tpm devices even though at a certain level even they are still predictable)

Are we evil for not caring about what happens to NPCs or ants? Because compared to how supposedly vast "God"'s existence is compared to ours, our individual lives 'are' a bit of a shrug.

See "God is not good" for a capricious/bored deity.

Interesting thought, in the context of the flow chart this falls directly into the "God is not all knowing" box.
