I disagree, browser based games took a very hard hit after Flash was killed and the infrastructure that was built around these games died. Newgrounds might be still limping around, but pretty much everything else, like Kongregate now, has died and nothing replaced it (most of the sponsors that funded these games moved to mobile, but very few of the actual developers did and mobile games are very different than the more raw/brutal flash games you'd find on pretty much every flash gaming site out there).
The tech, from a purely technical and capabilities perspective, is better sure. But the ecosystem and tools are much worse.
- fouc 6y agoI'm worried about all the great flash games that will disappear when no browsers can run flash anymore. I hope preservation efforts are successful..
- ahoy 6y agoThis is a larger problem with software archival. I suspect a lot of the media created during the fledgeling decades of the "digital" era will simply vanish.
