Probably worked out as a better monetization strategy than slapping AdSense on it...

How do you monetize a game that already has an ad-less web version which works 100% offline and has hardcoded enough words to continue working until 2028? I can literally "save as" the html and the js bundle, put them in a folder, and play it every day until 2028 without any problems. Let alone the thousands of free rip offs out there.

I dunno... didn't the Flappy Bird guy throw AdSense on there and start making $40k/day?

I believe mobile ads bring in much more revenue than web ads
