They already funded MMO's like EverQuest through Sony Online Entertainment / Verant Interactive, Inc. This was to facilitate the research for live battle "simulations" using the same technology for "theater operations." When I was researching this, I found a surprising amount of DoD/DARPA related funding into 3D graphics, and games. It kind of gave me an uncanny valley vibe of irony, in the sense that my mind went to a place of a cosmic joke that the Demiurge was an AGI born out of these efforts and it's been live for who knows how long. But yeah, that's just my crazy side on the second part...
