Well, someone said to me:

Downloadable Client
Chrome OS doesn't run executable files such as .exe (for Windows) nor .app (for Mac). As such, downloadable client will not be an option.

Browser Plugin
In order to play within the browser, the NPAPI plugin known as Unity Web Player is required. Unfortunately, Google deprecated and dropped the support for it.

is it true or not?

It will be down to testing individual games and the assets they use. (No problem Ross - it's the nature of the beast.)

What do i mean? That it's a shame it doesn't work anymore although how to fix it I'm unsure... That's all I'm saying that it's a bummer it don't work.
