People who have no clue what they’re talking about be like:
I mean, seriously… Celebrating FLASH of all things? And complaining that there are no more free amateur games? MF, never heard of Unity? Godot? O3DE? Defold? GDevelop? OGRE? renpy? pygame? stride?
The worst of these still being infinitely better than Flash. And then you can publish your work at Itch.io.

itch is full of low quality generic slop made by restrictive game engines. A few good games. A few.

So exactly the same as flash games?

I hear you, but not quite - Flash games had more of a blank canvas and there was no obvious way how you would build your game, leading much greater and richer vareity

Nonsense.
You have RPG games, rogue-likes, VNs, puzzles - literally all the kinds of games in existence are right there on Itch. It’s exactly like back when Flash was popular, only this time it’s more secure and less resource hungry (most of the time).

I think they are just celebrating the era. The Internet was completely different then. A lot of those flash games later turned into microtransation shit as well on new engines.

Only the ones that had enough staying power to be turned into microtransaction shit on new engines. Remember how many horrendously grotesque and edgy games there were for no point other than to be horrendously grotesque and edgy? Sure we have some of those now but scrolling Steam or Itch it isn’t a constant stream of edgelord suicide simulators or whatnot

Yeah, it’s just unsubstantiated “looking back through rose tinted glasses” kind of thing.
