I'm curious how they plan to monetize this. It's hard for me to invest too much into the "open web" for browser games when there's not a very clear way of monetizing browser games that doesn't mean "ads".

I feel like ads would affect the user experience. I'd rather be bringing your attention more to the game, rather than distracting you with things to click on that will take you away from the game.

Many people create games as an artistic venture rather than a business one.
