Bottom line? Unity is an amazingly versatile piece of software whether you are building a prototype or a triple-A title. But it has a rather spotty history when it comes to new deployment platforms.

However, if Unity can deliver on their promises of WebGL, they will become the link between high-end game development and cross-platform HTML5 that edtech has been craving. Educational game developers will not need to commit to a single deployment platform, greatly reducing risk and expanding the potential market size. This could be a tremendous game changer and if the AngryBots demo is any indication, the future looks bright.

Kudos, Unity. I am officially back on board. Don’t break my heart.

12 points in 15 minutes is odd. If you're asking people to upvote your submission, it's against the HN rules and it doesn't work.
Really gotta support chrome. really gotta.
