Web will be huge for increasing accessibility, especially for casuals who have never downloaded Steam before. Imagine the Cambrian explosion that will take places when playing becomes as simple as clicking a link?

We've had Canvas/WebGPL since 2011. Emscripten came out 10 years ago. WebAssembly 5 years ago. I've seen countless of these kinds of demos over the last decade. Literally no difference between this one and what was demoed years ago.
So for years a plugin-free browser was good enough for 'modern fidelity' gaming - but it never happened.
There is no 'Cambrian explosion' coming. Casual mobile killed casual browser gaming.
It has taken a decade, it will arrive without proper tooling, and require everyone to rewrite their shaders as well.
