I'm sure it's entirely possible that I can run my application within the arbitrary limitations that you have set for me. I have a MongoDB and Express stack primarily. Sorry that I didn't know that online.com™ can host my application with 8 gigs of RAM for just $9 a month. I came into this damn thread wondering if maybe someone thought this was a good idea from the point of view of user experience. I don't care whatsoever about the planet. Not a bit. If my computer brings about the next Ice Age, fine. I'm a webdev, I saw an idea I liked, you ruthlessly shot me down because apparently it's going to harm you in some way. Honestly, I'd like to make a little money to pay my student loans off with, but that's not about to happen. So maybe, just maybe, I don't care how wonderfully cheap and capable the server you just randomly decided I should use is. I saw a cool idea, I wanted to implement it in an open and honest way for those users that wanted it. Sorry for destroying the planet with curiosity.

Sounds like olyou should take a refresher ethics course. And if not that, a business course because you're just going to drive your idea into the ground the way you're going. There's your feedback. By the way, users will instantly close your game if you cause their cpu fans to spin up to 100% Good luck with your doomed project :)

  You do know what throttling and debouncing are right? Or do you need to take an actual computer science class?

    Of course. I also know you're not going to earn any remotely significant amount of money from crypto currency mining if you do that.

  Also, who said this was a business? I'm a goddamn 22-year-old webdev, I don't give a fuck about ethics or conservation or profit margins. My doomed project is the same goddamn project it has been since I started working on it, and your smug opinion of the optional feature it took me five minutes to implement doesn't change that.

    You're looking to monetize. That makes it a business. If not we're back to square one, skip out on a Starbucks and just pay for your server costs yourself rather than fucking over your users :) Maybe if you manage to create something worthwhile people will be willing to pay you some money. It's not like you need much of it for a single server. Consider it an opportunity to learn how to not piss away money/time.
