If you're interested in making your own game, please feel free to reach out on Discord: https://discord.gg/cx3usBCWnc

Or refer to some existing WASM game examples: https://github.com/extism/game_box/tree/main/games - currently games can be built using Extism PDKs in any of Go, Rust, Javascript/Typescript, Zig, Haskell, AssemblyScript or C/C++!

Ask the Flash game community

Flash games knew their limit and could easily be redistributed. Most online JS games are total hell to save/archive and most are lost to time when their host rips it down.

It's much easier to get someone to visit a website vs downloading a random binary.

Edit: I don't get why OP was flagged though, it's just a question. Shouldn't offend anyone ...

Fun and profit, the two primary motivators of all seemingly-useless things that exist in abundance.

I understand why the tone is as such, but I feel this is just as toxic as the parent comment only in the positive sense

Doesn't WASM even use native machine hardware and video cards?

So like the gap is closing between a binary and a browser.
