Can someone explain how games this size are ported?
From what I know, developers use tools like Emscripten to compile the game's C++ source code into WebAssembly.
executables are very small in comparison to assets. you just decode the exe, transpile it to c, recompile again to wasm and viola!

you still need oryginal game to play

Sadly it only works on Chromium based browsers apparently. So much for the open web feels like flash and java of years gone by
This is also doable via GeForce Now (I think - it’s been years since I tried doing it, but IIRC I was in chrome on an iPhone.)
