If you don't have a backend, how do you make sure I'm billed?
What's stopping me from opening the console and calling the "addMoreCredits" function? Why can't I just edit the code to remove any mention of consuming credits?
I think you're about to discover why most multiplayer games have moved authoritative simulation to the server.

it was more of a figure of speech where the entire implementation for the user would be on the frontend (React). Sensitive operations are being called securely on the backend, just through Next.js server functions!
