Mozilla need to tone down the disingenuous marketing as it's going to bite the otherwise worthy asm.js in the long run.

The problem is that video fails to explicitly point out that the only version relying on asm.js is the browser version, which is the least interesting, while they're all excited about different devices those are all supported thanks to Unreal's cross platform support and has nothing to do with the asm.js version.

The video was not made by us, it was made by the game developers. This particular video (and blog post) is about the asm.js port of the game (and other possible solutions), not about the game itself.
Isn't the connection that Unreal's cross platform support was written in C or C++ and they ported it to a web browser in a week by compiling that to asm.js?
