Anyone else noticing the web game trend lately?

Hi,

I'm a gaming SDK developer working with teams of all sizes. From solo developers to major studios and publishers. I've collaborated with both well-known companies and emerging names, and I've built tools across most engines, including my own.

While web-based games are not new, there's a noticeable trend lately: more developers are targeting the browser as their primary platform.

One major advantage of web games is the ability to update instantly and bypassing app store.

Many of the companies I work with are generating substantial revenue from extremely simple web games. For these, Unity often feels like overkill.

So, if the future of “toilet games” (quick, casual experiences) is shifting to the web, and AAA studios continue to favor Unreal, what does that mean for Unity’s long-term positioning?

Yes, Unity supports WebGL, but when evaluating engines for quick-turnaround web games, a lot of publishers are opting for tools like Construct or Cocos Creator instead.

Curious to hear your thoughts.
