Long since dead but I put a lot of time into a browser-based (2D) MMO called Nowhere Else and Beyond back in the day.

You could build islands and they'd be placed somewhere in the world for people to sail to, you could create quests set on your island etc. There was even an object inventor for creating equipment.

RSS is essentially dead, sadly. Can't push ads or gather analytics through it so it's been "optimised out" of the web.

Even those rare sites that DO support RSS quite often only show the first paragraph or even just the title of the page, which I suppose is an acceptable compromise.

It's not an intentional one though, it's just what the tools happen to run on. Sony aren't going to come after you if you run their SDK in a VM or something.

Apple intentionally restrict developers to only use Apple hardware and software to keep the ecosystem contained.
