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.
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.
