Wait, video games use electricity?

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.

So do stones in video games. And water.

Lamps in video games aren't real. It's the video game that's using the electricity.

Why can't we shoot lights out anymore?

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