With the disclosure that the CBS Showtime site was 'some way or another' facilitating javascript based crypto-mining code, viably utilizing it's clients CPU time to dig cash for whoever put the code there, is it an opportunity to examine whether computer games could do likewise?
Could computer games that don't use 100% of the CPU/GPU of the gadget/stage they are on, be utilized to mine crypto?
Could this be the new F2P - without advertisements and microtransactions, however rather a concurrence with the client to utilize their CPU/GPU time? (E.g. the client has the alternative to pay with CPU time rather than cash)
Or, on the other hand is this simply awful/deceptive/dangerous? Are there some other concerns?
