I don't understand how it's a problem. Just show a message "Your browser is not supported. Please use one of the following browsers." To play games on Windows people install MANY proprietary launchers(From Blizzard, EA, UBI, etc. Steam is a glorified launcher also), I don't see how installing Chrome just to play a game is more difficult.

I'm with you on that, and it's the reason at my job we aren't bending over backwards for compatibility. We don't support IE. It's not _really_ a problem, but it could lose you users. How many, I don't know. Whether that's a problem or not is up to you.

Turn the question around: can we do something else with those resources to get 4% more users and an increase in goodwill?
