funny enough - distribution on the web would've been easier than the App Store.

likely - it would grow organically too since all one has to do is share a link.

for social games yeah - Elixir | BEAM is an excellent stack.

Yet, there is hardly any Web game that it is at the level of Infinity Blade, the game used to show off OpenGL ES 2.0 support back in 2010.

Browsers 3D support is a black box for game developers, still no debugging tools other than having a native build that you can plug RenderDoc, not a priority for browser vendors for the past decade.

Then there is the whole issue how assets get loaded, space on browser for caching them, and security (F12 away to mess with the game engine).

I see your point. My counterpoint is that I think I’ve returned to zero web games that aren’t wordle. I think in the long run it’s the wrong choice
