It feels like wasted power. You could at least be earning something off it. The creator can either take a cut if it’s free or lump sum for paid.
I’ve seen a few idle games take up a lot CPU resources, not necessarily GPU so it had me wondering. Why not make it mine?
This isn’t about a computer on idle… This is about a computer running a game non stop that people think is Idle… When it’s not. It’s often running a game doing massive number calculations regularly. Sometimes showing hundreds to thousands of separate things on the screen constantly.
I think a lot of the comments here just don’t seem to understand how many resources an Idle game can actually take up lol.
And if you mine crypto at the same time, it either uses even more resources, or the game runs slower.
