I think thats very far from true. You can do amazing things in the browser these days. But we don’t have the same ecosystem we had during the flash days. And the reason for that is certainly the App Store, well partly along with steam, but not because Apple or Valve were some evil actors trying to destroy creativity. The reason is simply that these store provided an avenue for all the people on new grounds to monetize their games, so they stopped releasing them for free. Then the monetization became competitive and everyone started optimizing for engagement and adoption instead of optimizing for “the crowd online will get a kick out of this”.
