Can someone explain how games this size are ported?

Sadly it only works on Chromium based browsers apparently. So much for the open web feels like flash and java of years gone by

This is also doable via GeForce Now (I think - it’s been years since I tried doing it, but IIRC I was in chrome on an iPhone.)

I tried this in Firefox and Chrome on Linux, and neither worked.

Weird I vaguely recall even if you enable experimental chromium features it's single thread only + webGPU doesn't fully utilize your GPUs capabilities. How this is possible that you can play a AAA game with chrome? Is it that this game isn't as computationally intensive since it's an older game or something else?

Don't waste your time on Firefox/Safari: it will download 1GB of assets before failing to load.
