Glad to hear these guys are going to make a NaCl option available.
The interesting thing about NaCl long term is that in order to compete with mobile and desktop for developer attention any browser that supports it will likely require an app store / ecosystem the way Google has done with Chrome (to collect payments). This could make the future browser landscape look a lot different, as it would introduce a lot more "lock-in" than we're used to. If I have games and apps installed in one browser, I'll be far less likely to switch at a later date.
- magicalist 15y agoisn't it the same problem as monetizing any web site? NaCl is just embedded in the page, after all.
- troymc 15y agoIf you've got a Mac or a Linux machine and some neat game is only available (for you) via the Chrome Web Store, it seems like a fine option. People already spend lots of money on browser-based games.
