We write this article as a piece of advice for all the webmasters reading us who want to get in the lucrative business of free online games. We’re here to always deliver fresh ideas, but we also make sure to argue why we think our ideas are good. Let’s not waste any more precious time and dive in this article.
- Cross-Platform Compatibility
Probably the best reason for which you should choose HTML5 games for your website is the high potential of cross-platform compatibility that this technology has. Unlike its predecessor, the inflexible Flash, HTML5 will work on all devices, no matter if they are PC or Mac, and no matter if they are mobile ones running on iOS or Android. HTML5 even works on handheld gaming consoles. And you totally want a site that’s accessible on all devices. That means you won’t have a huge chunk of your traffic leaving your site because they can’t enjoy the content. Also, a HTML5 site won’t annoy your visitors with technical pop-ups, since all the updates and bug fixes are done automatically.
- Improved Security
HTML5 is also known for its excellent security. Both you as a webmaster and your visitors will be safer in the face of spyware threats. Online gaming sites used to be in the group with the highest risk when it came to internet spyware back in the days when they were using Flash. That stained a niche and there is still a stigma attached to free online gaming sites. But the threat was actually eliminated with the help of HTML5.
- HTML5 Has A Cleaner Code
If you’re a webmaster who also loves coding, but you don’t want to waste a lot of time with it, then you should know that HTML5 has one of the cleanest and easy to read codes out there. That also means you will be able to access in a huge community of modders who can improve the experience of your site. The potential of moding communities that are doing things out of passion for gaming is untapped at the moment. If you know how to build communities around your platforms, moding games in HTML5 will give them a reason to stay.
- HTML5 Was Built For Online Games
All the new online games that matter in the past couple of years are built in HTML5. Because of the mobile versatility and because of all the engines that were developed around HTML5, the end products are simply amazing. I know this is an unorthodox example, but you can see that best in the realistic extreme porn games of the moment. Games like JerkDolls have some of the best graphics and physics in the online gaming industry. Their characters look so real and the movement is so anatomically correct that the gamer feels like he’s watching a movie when playing the game.
These are just some of the surface reasons for which HTML5 is the future. We will come with a more technical article on the topic pretty soon. But if you’re thinking about starting a new gaming site, consider this article.
