Yes and no. UDP objectively performs better because it prioritizes sending relevant (in the context of real time application) data rather than retrying no longer relevant data (and all the overhead that entails).

No you don't need UDP to make a game, but for the sorts of games that I enjoy playing you need UDP.

https://nightpoint.io has been around for a long time, it's a fast-paced 2D shooter, uses web sockets and it does quite good actually.
I think the same dev created https://battledudes.io later on, again based on web sockets. It has/had (haven't played recently) a pretty big player community.

I know it was a typo, but I want to play edlin ring. The most frustrating text mode adventure ever.

Google shows me a bunch of RPGs

FPSes here

or maybe better a video showing some

I know none of them are Edlin Ring, Skyrim, or Call of Duty. One issue with Web games is users's expect them to start quickly so no downloading 80gig of assets like 102gig for CoD Black Ops 6
