...why did they make a website not html-first?
I figure this is the nextjs exception? The website would probably be HTML-first (I.e. SSR, would work non-interactively without JS), just that the JS doesn’t fail silently.
Game websites are second only to restaurants in average UI complexity. Lots of them do extremely complicated stuff to provide game-realistic framerates to visitors so they can see if it meets their expectations (10fps or so).
