The original claim was to create a new programming language for developing games.
Everything that has come out of Verse so far has been "oh look, I designed this language I wanted to design and the only relation it has to gaming is the title of the paper"

After Epic's wild success hes now got a bit of cash to splash on making his dream a reality :-)
