LOL.
So, within the framework of the simulation hypothesis let us consider the entity which made our universe and runs it. Why is it not a god? Which necessary attributes of godhood does it lack? What makes it not belong in a class denoted by the word "god"?
I'm not sure what you mean by that.

Are a Ferrari and a Hummer the same thing? They are both cars. But they are different "special cases" of cars.

Why is it not a god? [...]
I think all those questions are answered quite well in the last two paragraphs of the comment you were replying to.
