I'm sorry (not experienced in graphics) but why would you need WebGL for a multiplayer? Can't you have a normal 3D renderer that has a connection to server?
- SXX 5y agoBy "WebGL" they meant build of their game for web browsers that Unity let you create OOTB. So if your game is cross-platform and also support playing it in browser you have a problem: sockets that you can use elsewhere wont work in browser.

- kroltan 5y agoSorry, the Unity crowd calls the browser target "WebGL". Yeah it's a bit silly but such is life. It's not that you need to care about WebGL-the-technology for your networking, but that there are no provided tools to use, say, WebSockets, when creating games that will run on the browser. Sure, you could use WebSockets through JS interop and create your own socket library encapsulating that, but it's hella annoying.
