alt Hacker NewsThe ugliest site in the world that just starts loading and saving files without user interaction.
Give me a play button, let me initiate the install, show me what the hell it is first.
This looks no different than a scam phishing link

Pretty sure it's just the default Emscripten page. It is bad and most demos don't bother changing it.

It only loads the first 50 MB needed to start the game at first, as you interact/progress it loads more. 50 MB is definitely at the boundary of "how many users appreciate a button vs how many are ignored they have to click it to load the initial page" size.
Having to click a button to see anything itself is even a scammy pattern as it's used by scam sites to get more permissions before the user has a chance to doubt the content at all.
