Some say that spontaneous resuscitation is possible is if we reboot and remove the cause of death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion: Aggressive advertising, Audience shifted to mobile games. Flash dying also had some part in it, but I wouldn't say it was a big driver. I also noticed HTML5 games seem to be very different than what flash games were. They serve completely different audiences. I used to exclusively play flash games, now HTML5 games do not even closely resemble those kind of games. I think web as a gaming platform is still very viable, but the content needs to be recalibrated as well as more clever monetization model. Ads work, but they need to be integrated properly.
