Crimson Desert Players Ignore Story To Collect Cat Army

This comedic meme edits a screenshot from the open world video game *Crimson Desert*, showing an armored player character surrounded by dozens of real domestic cats. An inset circular image adds a joke portrait of a real cat wearing full medieval knight armor. The text at the bottom references a real viral trend where *Crimson Desert* players intentionally ignore the game's main story questline to instead collect cats as a casual side activity. The meme exaggerates this trend to show the player has already collected an entire army of cats, leaning into the common joke that open world players often prioritize silly, fun side content over the intended main story.
