Also, changing outcomes in this simulated universe, as in acts of God that defy its physical laws, would be extremely difficult without messing it up, so even if the developer would want to, say, cure all suffering, it would abstain from doing so. And the developer could save the consciousness of people that he likes and maybe restore them somewhere else, like in another universe, with a different set of laws (e.g. heaven).
