This is from a webpage that talks about a strategy guide for "the game of life"
I think life probably is literally a video game. The author of that quote might believe that too but he seems to believe we're on our own.
Related to this is my belief I'm playing "hide and seek" with God. That means God isn't obvious...
Perhaps my favourite quote about "God" is from Futurama:
I don't believe that Jesus literally came back to life (I think it was mistaken identity) so most Christians would say I'm not a Christian.
Life Is a Video Game—Here Are the Cheat Codes
Welcome, Player One, to a strategy guide for the game known as Life.

I find it comforting when I am experiencing major difficulties that this is apparently normal...As you’ve undoubtedly discovered, the game of Life is often quite difficult. You will face unexpected challenges and long periods of frustration. You will often struggle with self-doubt, feel overwhelmed by helplessness and loss, and sometimes take a s**t when you’re out of toilet paper.
....
The goal of Life is simple: it is to Level Up as much as possible. Each Level in life presents a particular challenge that you must overcome. Once you overcome that challenge, you get to move on to the next Level. The goal is to complete as many levels as possible. At the end of the game, the person at the highest level gets to have the best funeral.
....
Life is designed to continually throw difficult and unexpected problems at you. Life is a never-ending stream of problems that must be confronted, surmounted, and/or solved. If at any point, Life runs out of problems to give us, then as players, we will unconsciously invent problems for ourselves.

Perhaps my favourite quote about "God" is from Futurama:
At the end of the episode God chuckles and repeats that last sentence so it looks like the creator of the show thought it was an important quote.GOD: Bender, being God isn't easy. If you do too much, people get dependent on you. And if you do nothing, they lose hope. You have to use a light touch like a safecracker or a pickpocket.
BENDER: Or a guy who burns down the bar for the insurance money.
GOD: Yes, if you make it look like an electrical thing. When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.
