Flash still exists? My small world of unix (with a lean Firefox) and Android have spoiled me.

There are millions of people a day that play Flash games across many websites. Many of the members on HN have a flawed view that just because they don't use flash then no one else does.

Different view = flawed?

Though, I guess you were right. My comment was unhelpful and meant to be tongue-in-cheek. My mistake. Downvotes welcomed.

Edit: As much as I liked Strongbad and JoeCartoon, flash still sucks.

Flawed was probably the wrong word to use, maybe unrealistic view would have been more appropriate. As a developer in the Flash gaming community, one of my pet peeves is the loud outcry from the tech community to kill Flash. Flash is still the best way to ship cross-platform games that can be played from any browser, and there is a huge community of interest in that.
