Flash sucked. It was bad for accessibility, it was closed, it was slow, it was a way to force ads on us. Sure you could do animations, but that was not what most of use needed/wished at the time.
The only population that liked flash were:
- marketing departments
- wanna be game devs and the teenagers that played their games
- ComplexSystems 3y agoPretty important population.
- bryceneal 3y agoIf you make games that millions of people play are you still considered a "wanna be game dev"?
- zare_st 3y agoMan, don't be so critical. I for one won't shed a tear for developers and their users that have been screwed over by their garden master. You go for closed proprietary technology because it has certain benefits, so have the consequences too. Same thing also goes to classic ASP, Silverlight, etc. You have one master. But I can't say I did not enjoy flash games. They had a mini boom around mid to late 2000s with "tower defense" type of games which was excellent. For me it felt a bit back in earlier 90s DOS, you had a lot of well made and unique minigames heavily concentrated on gameplay as opposed to "assets"
