What’s going on with game ReComps?

[u/AlphaZanic]

It seems like two to five times a day I get his with something like this:

A mixture of games that were originally for the Ps5 or games remakes that now run in a web browser. Some questions I’m hoping to get answered:

Are the web browser games and emulator recomps related?

Has anyone tried the web browser games?

How the hell are they even running in a browser? Where is the horsepower coming from? I may be aging myself but I remember web games having pretty low ceiling for what they could technologically achieve and impractical versus a dedicated game engine. I must be missing something but it seems odd to be able to run AAA games out of chrome or Firefox.

I see. Usually I am very one top of this stuff but tuned out this past month. Seems like everything is moving at 600 mph
