I see a lot of game devs in discord experimenting with Electrobun to release desktop games.

I think it's going to eat a piece of the Electron pie for Steam indie games.

Most stay with bun after seeing how fast and seamless it is to run typescript games with instant auto reload:

bun --watch game.ts

What Discord server are you referring to? Would love to join.

I do a lot of web development, and even if we set the great tooling aside for a moment, Bun is still a major improvement (a real leap, I’d say) when it comes to performance.

Are many games built with Electron ...? I know there are a few HTML5 games, crosscode was the first one I recall seeing that really pushed it. Aren't most small games Unity or Godot?

CrossCode is a marvel in that they had to build their own runtime: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41155807

I think the most famous Electron game is Vampire Suvivors, but it has since been ported to Unity.
