>browser game has a fanmade client with extra features
I felt so fucking cool as a kid for downloading Transformice clients that would allow you to see past the map's borders.

Because everything's monetized to hell now. Devs want to shove you into their ecosystem so they can track you better, slap ads in your face, or sell you skins for their Unity asset flip. Back in the Flash days, you'd click a link and boom-you're walljumping as a mouse in 2 seconds. Now you need a launcher for the launcher that runs the launcher. It's like Inception, but for DRM.
