Same here, saw this post and thought it would be a nice way to pass time on my laptop which is tethered to 256kbps free roaming while my phone updates over the censored wifi so I don't waste my fast data (hence browsing HN as one of the few text-based websites still around).

I remembered 2048 as a nice all-javascript game that runs in memory... opened this "updated version" and was met with slow-loading fonts, Google Ads, sign in and payment features, and the game did not in fact work (UI rendered but the initial 2 tile never loaded).
