Let's Encrypt root certificate trusted by Mozilla

I'm not running a business. I'm writing an open source library that needs certs because browsers are banning features unless served from https

http://docs.happyfuntimes.net

One cert per game * one hit game = need 10s of thousands of certs. But even without a hit game a single game jam would hit the limits

For reference here is an example of a similar problem and solution but it required $$$$$$

PS: I know this is not a problem with Lets Encrypt. They are not trying to solve this problem.

It is a problem that needs a cheaper solution at least for open source projects.

Maybe: games.example.com/foobarbarz instead of foobarbaz.example.com?

how would this help? Like Plex each game is running a local webserver on a user's home computer/apple tv/android tv/etc. It's those devices that need the certs in order to serve content to browsers on player's smartphones.
