Unless they are unloaded out of memory

Wait, video games use electricity?

Mind blow

Do they use more than dark places in video games? Like if you are in dark room in the game, and you turn on a lamp in the game, are you using more electricity?

My guess is no but I am not a programmer or electrician nor a physicist.

I'd argue that's not true if the lighting is baked into the map.

Nuclear powerplants in video games generate real electricity
