## Why it matters

Widely shared reaction (~121k views) on AI-made browser ports; says an early port 'got taken down within hours'. Quoted by levelsio and others.

## Summary

Posted Oct 6, 2026 (15:19 UTC). Says a port "got taken down within hours, but it's starting now": within months, instead of torrent
sites, "we're going to have sites hosting *fully playable free WASM versions* of AAA games". He would call it "an existential threat
to the gaming industry" if the cost of every input to AAA games were not falling by orders of magnitude, and calls it "more of a
cambrian explosion". The post does not name which port was taken down. Checked via api.fxtwitter.com on Oct 11: ~121k views.

> this got taken down within hours, but it's starting now. within a few months instead of sketchy sites with popup ads hosting torrents of the latest AAA games a few days post release, we're going to have sites hosting *fully playable free WASM versions* of AAA games. whole libraries of them, just there at a click, zero download required, zero risk of viruses, zero effort or thought.

> i would call this an existential threat to the gaming industry if it weren't for the fact that every input to previously $100-200 mil AAA games is actively dropping by orders of magnitude in cost and time. instead it's more of a cambrian explosion.
