A Google Chrome update breaks the audio in numerous web-based games

Google Chrome was recently updated to block auto-playing videos on websites by default. It quickly came to light that the way the change was implemented has a pretty big downside, as a number of game developers including "Getting Over It With" Bennett Foddy and VVVVVV creator Terry Cavanagh, hit up Twitter to say that the change had killed the audio in their games, and potentially thousands of others.


Somebody opened a bug on it. What else could it be considered if not buggy behavior?

Comment #55 is where the Chrome Product Manager for desktop chimed in. Weird, it's been 5 days and he hasn't reverted the change yet. Someone explain this to me.
