That's why I find idea that no gamer in Ready Player One tried running a car backward offensive.

Its like, people rub against every square inch of geometry in say, Destiny 2, just to get out of bounds. It's insane that no one just...tried cause they're bored even.

I always remember back in world of warcraft, before you had flying mounts, there were spots you could spam jump on to slowly climb the barrier mountains and get up to the flat area they never meant for you to see. Good times.

He didnt, the intent was to put it somewhere that everyone could and should access, a place of learning. No gatekeeping, no financial or age restrictions.

There’s a little explanation in that it costs to get in to the race. So naturally people wouldn’t want to waste the attempt, except there’s always someone that will pay the fee and try just about anything.

That might buy you a few days, but not the absurd amount of time in the story.

Especially when the prize is that big.
