Why don't idle games mine for crypto?

!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

I assume you mean for the computer owner, not the game developer? Assuming it goes to the owner of the hardware, not really that useful. CPU mining is incredibly slow and GPU mining would not even necessarily break even on electricity costs. If someone wants to mine, they should just run a dedicated mining program. Wasting electricity to do pointless calculations for tokens is an outdated idea anyway.
