How do you keep track of the bazillions different variables then? Or maybe I should ask, what's your definition of a game backend?
In the context of the talk, the backend is a web server. Do all single player games need a web server? No. If they wrote "Most games today", I wouldn't bother.
Calling the engine + logic a game backend wouldn't be entirely wrong, but again, that's not the backend the talk will be about.
This reads like an ad for their plugin.
I've been waiting for this!
