  1. FLASH IS THE FUTURE!!
  2. Ignore the other plebeians, flash is MOST DEFINITELY NOT dying, totally doesn't have security problems, it's not even possible for a browser to block it...
  3. But seriously, as a person who grew up playing Nitrome (and then expanded to other awesome flash developers), living right now is incredibly painful, and stressful (I worry about the play-ability of flash games in the future...).
  4. And then there's the fact that there are very few other flash-gamers still around, and very few people who understand (or will let themselves understand -_-) that NOT all flash games are just cheap, simple, quickly made advergames... That some are, well, True Masterpieces!, even if they're small bite-sized ones...
  5. And even Nitrome has stopped making flash games (they've switched to mobile, which happens to ALSO sometimes be as under-appreciated as flash...) because of profit issues, and they have ALWAYS cared deeply about what fans want (which is flash, of course!), so you KNOW that it must be REALLY serious...
  6. But yet, there *are* STILL plenty(ish) of flash-devs who haven't stopped making games, who just keep pushing forward (scriptwelder is a great example), just because they, well, believe... They believe in making games that, as small as they may be, are ingenuitve, ground-breaking, unique, solidly made, even emotional...
  7. All because Flash is THEIR engine, the one that THEY use...
  8. So, I guess I'll wrap this (incredibly bloated) post up...
  9. And hope that in the future, all my favorite flash games are preserved...
  10. Because despite ALL it's awful flaws, glitches, security vulnerabilities and constant updates, Flash DESERVES to be remembered for the good that it DID do.
  11. Thank you.
