    Interesting, I am curious how were you able to achieve this, Baldurs Gate 2 is a closed source game, I guess its possible to have written a lifter for LLVM WASM?

    But that seems to be an insane effort.

    Isn't BG 2 under copyright still? There even was a remastered version a few years ago [0]. The third game in the series was released this year.

    WebAssembly has the power to level the playing field for games distribution. Why do we need Steam, which opposes a 30% tax to developers and only works on PC, whereas the browser is open and platform-agnostic?

    This is truly the future of gaming.
