No, this is what happens when lazy developers prioritize their own convenience over what's best for everyone.
They want to write JS once and have it run everywhere, so we end up with abominations like wasm and node.
People are perfectly willing to pay for games, just look at Steam.
- georgia_peach 4y agoStadia is running the actual game (which is probably a native binary generated from C++ code) on Google's servers, then streams the video/audio/input to/from the browser.
