I understand what you are saying. The tipping point for me in terms of "Oh, that will never happen because of X" was MineCraft. An incredible game written in Java. Sure, it's not pushing extreme graphics, but that doesn't matter. It's the game that matters.
So I look at games on the web the same way. Heck, I've been playing games on the web for years. No, they aren't in the same realm as AAA games coming from Blizzard, Valve, or EA. But, I had fun, native wouldn't have gained them anything, and I spent more time playing them (and more money) then some of those AAA games.

- Too 14y agoQuake live without plugin would be awesome. Quake live in it's current form, and same with Battlefield Heroes, is just silly. OMG a game that runs in your browser!!1 You just have to install this activex-plugin first... Totally misses the point of having browser games. I might as well install a full game. In the case of quake live installing the plugin was actually MORE hassle than installing a normal program, i counted the steps and with a normal game i usually just select install dir and press next two times, done. For quake live i had to go through tons of hoops, the installer had several steps and in the end i also had to restart my browser twice. Sooo convenient that it runs in the browser....
