The indie space game Against All Odds has shipped with a full RISC-V emulator built in, allowing an in-game computer to boot stock Linux. Players can run real software on it, with DOOM shown working as one of the demos. Developers note that a player's save file now effectively doubles as their OS install, blurring the line between game state and a real computing environment.
Why now: A game shipping a working Linux-capable emulator inside it is an unusual technical feat that fascinates gaming and open-source communities.
