Factual error: The plot's main conceit hinges upon coders, the art department, and the user-end network team constantly working live at the same time in the same room, as well as developers actively writing code, rebooting servers, and chasing players in-game to get rid of problematic players. No real game company could operate this way. Game content patches wouldn't change the network experience, and in-game aesthetic changes like the ones they make in seconds would require weeks if not months of development.

Free Guy is a fun, fast, positive and action-packed romantic fantasy science fiction comedy mash-up about a non-player character named Guy (affectionately played by Ryan Reynolds) who finds out that there's a larger world out there and he's just a small part of a modern, violent video game. He falls in love with player and game designer Molotov Girl/Millie (Jodie Comer), who's trying to find proof that the underlying, nearly forgotten game is more peaceful. Together they fight to save the peaceful world game and bring down the baddies-mostly Antwan (Taiki Waititi), CEO. There's a message about love, hope and never giving up amid the explosions and noise, and there's some funny moments in there as well to entertain everyone. See and smile!
Trivia: In one scene, a power-up is just barely visible in the background. It's a bottle marked "Subtle Product Placement." If you look very closely, you can actually see that it's a bottle of Aviation American Gin. Star Ryan Reynolds partially owns a stake in that brand of gin, and has made numerous humorous videos online promoting it.
Question: How come there was no dedication to Alex Trebek in the credits?

Answer: The movie was completely finished over a year ago. It was the pandemic that delayed it. So it was the finished product that was released.
