If the theory is true, his memories of his childhood aren’t real (because who would sign up for that), the player was probably patched in some time after the player character started getting his hair back. (Or maybe just prior, so that he could the climb over the hedonic setpoint)
In the base universe, he’s probably just a normal engineer, a few months after receiving a servant superintelligence, with almost no mental augmentations. He asked for the best, most realistic video game ever. He wanted it to have a mars adventure in it. And now he’s trying to play the hero role by reproducing the flawed singularity of the base universe, in ours.
But I think he probably wont. The game will end with a twist. :)
More likely a human is playing him, a crude one.
