Flashpoint is as hard to set up as any other Windows program. (As-in not hard) And if you are worried about large file size, just get the Infinity version, that downloads games when you choose to play them for the first time.
Also, HTML5 is unoptimized? I thought Flash was the laggy one when it came to games? With the part about Seldefiant and Ruffle, you practically told me that Ruffle CAN be a good way to preserve Flash games.
"Young people know nothing about the old web and how everything worked and the lack of censorship." OKAY? SO, ARE YOU SAYING THAT I'M STUPID BECAUSE I'M YOUNGER- Wait, no. That's assuming too much... I do get that since it was earlier technology back then, we had less restrictions on what could be shared, but you can still make your own little corner of the internet (aka a website) if you really hate big tech guidelines... (Not that anyone would visit without any advertising?)
Honestly, watching things get en(corpo)ified is never fun. Especially when it's something you care about. (oooh what are the end goals for G, A, and M?)
The insecurity claim being made up... That's an interesting take, but IDK, do you have any evidence to back this up?
Cool that you found a way to get flash games working, but I wouldn't say it's the most convenient method. But I guess I can't force you to try anything else.
I'm sorry if this is too long for anyone to read, but at least I split up the text into chunks.
(on a side note, browser games are not dead, just different now)
