They tried their own hand at making video games, leading to New World [0] and I believe a few other titles in the works. Limited success, and some massive technical flaws like allowing HTML in comments leading to remote code execution vulnerabilities. But also weird decisions, like simulating all the motions and physics of an axe hitting a tree server-side; that's just silly, all you need is a random success or failure coin flip. You can then do whatever you want with physics and such client-side.
