Why Browser Games Are Back

For a decade, browser games meant Flash, and Flash meant nostalgia. When Adobe killed it in 2020, most people assumed that was that.

It wasn't.

What changed

Three things converged: WebGL got good, phones got fast, and group chats became the dominant social surface. Suddenly a game you can open in a tab and share with a link beats a 2GB App Store download for half the things people actually want to play.

Why it matters

Friction is the enemy of fun. Browser games have none. That's the whole story.
