Is Tron: Ares a little like a Sims movie?

https://www.theatlantic.com/culture/2025/10/tron-ares-movie-review/684531 

This is a good article by David Sims. However, David-Sims seems to have skipped on something much deeper, like The Sims.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sims_(video_game)#Development

https://tron.fandom.com/wiki/Program , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sims

Ares was no longer just a ghost in the machine. He became an entity in the "real world." 

In the 1840s Charles_Dickens wanted to write an interdimensional story about a cantankerous old man interacting with various ghosts. A_Christmas_Carol deals the past, the present a possibly dark future resulting in a reconciliation of his perspective of life.
