The ability to paste a URL into a browser and have that be everything you need to do to play a game is pretty compelling for many kinds of games.

That’s what made flash games so big back in the day.

URLs can also be mapped into native applications, it is a matter of the right OS.

    That’s a different flow though.

    Pasting URL into browser, then having access to game

    Vs

    Pasting url in browser Get link to install app Install app Navigate to the original url again.

    Technical capabilities don’t always change user experience
