If we all exist in a simulation, what will happen once we start running out of RAM?

Assuming our simulation is not designed to auto-scale (and our Admins don’t know how to download more RAM), what kind of side effects could we see in the world if the underlying system hosting our simulation began running out of resources?

Not sure you’ve experienced the end of many SimCity games if you think this is the case. 😂

If anything, the earth lately kinda feels like someone’s gotten bored with the game.
