I would rather spend time on the gameplay than figure out the absolute retardation that is GPU-APIs. Three.js is the only one I bothered to learn because it was easy. The rest just feels like they are made to be difficult on purpose.

me too.
I was all openGL go brr
until I switched to Mac, now I’m Metal go brr mostly, as it’s even more simple.

I could technically just use some glue-JS with a WASM + Three.js and have my “engine” ready for the web, but this also requires me to spend considerable time setting up the rendering and audio handling… Two of the things I hate the most.

are people actually pay for games on web?

Yes. Back in the late naughties, early tens, “social media gaming” was so big it was a multibillion dollar industry. I remember making a bed that made 5 digits USDollarydoos daily for The Sims Social. I wish I got royalties, I’d never have to struggle again…
