> then why deviate from something like Steam? Maybe, portability (don't have to build three binaries) and security (VM sandboxing)? However, the performance hit (I'm using emscripten/asmjs) isn't negligible (and the browser introduces some lag), which means there's no way I'm dropping native build support for my games. It could be a new business model: play the web version immediately for free, buy the native version if you want speed/smoothness.
