- sevensor 10y agoAnd homestarrunner.com! The Internet of 10-15 years ago was awash in legitimate Flash content, and we're rapidly losing the ability to view it.
- pfooti 10y agoLuckily, almost all of the H*R stuff has gotten ported to youtube content. It's a little sad to not find the random easter eggs anymore, but the stuff is still there for your eeeemail pleasure.

- yoz-y 10y agoFlash games still exist but I doubt there are lot of new ones created. It seems that there are not that many HTML5 games created either. My theory is that it is because most of casual gaming now happens on mobile where flash is unavailable and HTML5 is subpar.
- Fargren 10y agoAbsolutely, very little Flash content is being created. But I still think it's not good that we are losing access to waht's already there. It could be this generation's version of link rot (which is still a problem too).
- yoz-y 10y agoWell the binaries for the standalone player are out there so access is still possible. Kind of like with old consoles.
