Games are a big part of the App Store and if tons of Flash games existed it would reduce that market substantially for games in the App Store.

- jacquesm 17y agoExactly. A large amount of the stuff in the app store is fluff that is already available for flash, and plenty of the 'apps' are re-writes for the iphone platform of existing .swf files. That's what makes it worth to the users to pay for them, the fact that they're not available for free through an alternative channel. A large part of the app stores market would dry up overnight if flash support were added to the iphone as an out-of-the-box feature.
