Hey PH 👋 Playcade started with a simple annoyance: getting 8 people into a game together means somebody has to own a console, or everyone has to install something. A TV already has a browser (most new smart platforms) and everyone already has a phone. That's a console. The one interesting technical bit: the TV runs the only simulation and the only render -phones just send inputs. That collapses most of the hard multiplayer problems, and it's why a 12-car race feels okay on ordinary party wifi. Everything is built around a 12-player ceiling from the ground up, not 4 players with extras bolted on. Try it with a big group - that's where it's meant to live. You can also play solo games. Would genuinely love feedback on the join flow and on how it runs on older smart TVs.
