Flash games did not die out because people stopped playing them. The smart phone was created and this changed the entire landscape of small game development.

Steve Jobs killed Flash. It was premeditated.

It was atrocious compared to what we have now. But god fucking dammit I love those games. They mean more to me than a lot of AAA studios.

If it had been killed without an adequate replacement (eg. mobile gaming) then people wouldn't have let Flash die. There are open-source flash players.
