Finally, perhaps it's to collect analytics data from games using your engine? I see Defold comes with "analytics out of the box". That data has to go somewhere, and I bet it's King's servers.

No data is collected unless you actually opt-in for the analytics.

I'm one of the engine devs. :)

What is the browser support like for the html5 output? Performance?

I don't have any numbers for you, but I would assume it's on par with other engines compiled with emscripten. We do however focus a lot on performance overall in the engine, and keeping the binary size low, so I would believe we st least are in the front comparatively. :)

There is currently a push for HTML5 related tasks in the planning, so it will only get better.
