- whstl 3y agoTrue, but there is also a business opportunity for dramatically simplifying game deployment, not only web apps. Unity has tools that can partially help with that but their execution also sucks. You still need some half-working script downloaded from Github or some random site to deploy to Apple/Google if you don't want the hassle of using the default tools. It's the same for consoles. It's an ungodly pain in the ass even with Unity. Godot makes some of its money by porting to consoles, for example. But I don't know if there's any money there for a scalable solution.

- numpad0 3y agoApple cracked down on traditional gaming on iOS, and as an unforseen side effect, yes, "mobile gaming" means suggestive gambling apps that are eating the world.
