You say that as if some of the most popular game franchises aren't direct continuations of flash games.

Flash was readily available, low cost (before creative cloud), had few to no platform specific issues. Basically- the easiest possible entry for young devs and game devs.

Sorry, are you defending that Flash should be in the app store ecosystem in 2025?

I wasn't describing the tech stack (which was atrocious), I was describing the genre of "bad flash games"

The games developed in Flash that have lived on were better quality and had been meaningfully updated in the last decade... this app is neither high quality nor upkept.
