>Tell me again though, why did the local chinese food place's menu need to be in flash? >The issue wasn't really the flash games. It was using it for everything that ruined it for the people using it for what it did well. Standards bodies not keeping up with what people needed/wanted wasn't helping either. We're just now getting things like grids being usable, and some projects still can't use it because they're targeting browsers (that are well past being unsupported) that don't implement it. Why does this matter? It isn't related. The same argument can be made against JavaScript: Why does a static website need JavaScript to render text? >Also, try picking up an open source game engine, godot or phaser or something, you might enjoy it. This suggestion isn't at all similar to the Flash platform. Doesn't even come close within the context of a lay person being able to simply create and publish with little-to-no knowledge of the underlying engine/runtime and with the tools in order to do so. >don't dismiss things because it's not what you know? What precisely do you believe they do not know? Your arguments don't address the points the user laments in the comment to which you replied, making it difficult to determine what "things" you're referring to.
