|Methods and systems for continuing to execute a simulation after processing resources go offline

|To simulate gameplay of NPCs, the system may identify end user devices (e.g., gaming consoles, personal computers, smartphones, etc.) that are connected to the system through a network and are available to participate in a simulated NPC gameplay session.

|This patent essentially describes how a botnet is created in the consumer's network, which is outright stealing resources to train the company's NPC AI- even after closing the game. Further misuse of affected network devices is very well possible, thanks to unclear language like "an agent '''[...]''' may program one or more physical processors of end user device[s]". This seems to be already happening with Call of Duty Black Ops 6. The game is reported to still run in the background even after closing it. You need to use the Windows task manager on PC to fully close the game's process. There are also tutorials online on how to completely close the game on console.
