Because the "you" that is conscious is actually your game player in another world. So it's that "person" that is actually programming. Your body here is basically a robot.
This would also explain why we can't figure out what consciousness actually is - if it's not physically in this world that would make it hard to figure out.
This theory makes the need to logout/sleep even more puzzling: if the need to logout is not attached to the robot then why did it biologically evolve on the robot in the first place?
That's the whole point - it's not the robot sleeping. For example people in a coma don't sleep.
> biologically evolve on the robot
I'm not aware of any multi-cellular organisms at all that don't sleep. None.
So if it did evolve it must have done so in a single celled organism that doesn't sleep, which of course makes no sense. (Why evolve the need for something you'll only need when multi-cellular?)
