Former Epic tech director announces The Immense Engine, his AI-heavy "European alternative" to Unreal

The latest Crimson Desert patch lets you ride a special lion to a claw machine which spits out chairs and special hats

Crimson Desert continues to morph into newer and more unknowable forms with each patch developers Pearl Abyss put out. For example, the latest one turns it into a game in which you can ride one of many special animals to a claw machine that stocks some nice decor and accessories, then get a handy partial refund when upgrading your gear.
