Game development is tough

[The Helmsman]

ok you have that game, and I'll play burnout revenge on my x-box, or medal of honour 2 etc etc , I didn't say it wasn't possible to do that in Flash, I just suggested that its always going to be better on a console or a latest PC.

I have Quake 4 and Half-Life 2 on my PC, and the overall graphics quality in both of them on my nVidia 6800 makes me cry. It's looks almost like pre-rendered scenes of the latest Sci-Fiction movies.... but there are no story in both of them. Actually the story was the last thing developers thought about when they worked on those titles.
The story of "Death in Sakkara" game was brilliant and reminds me old "Indiana Jones" movies. It makes work your imagination as well as investigate and explore. Thats a different feeling and i'll be happy when it will be not inside the creepy Flash title but in the latest 3D title too. Due to this time i can remember only one game where the 3D graphics was the same quality as a story. It was Max Payne II.

....Ive made quite a few games and only sold a handful for only marginal money, you cant earn a living out of it unless you work for a media company creating promotional games for big brands....
...As for coming up with innovative ideas that will change the way of flash gaming: It just doesnt happen, you get a good idea come out and within a week they idea has been copied 100 times, so everyone gets fed up with that kind of game and moves on leaving the original developer scratching his head trying to come up with another great idea. A great game with innovative ideas doesnt generally sell for more than a game thats just a rehash of an old classic, so whats the point in slaving for days over something that you aint going to get rewarded for?...

IMHO the old business model when you pay for the game will not work with tha Flash games. I can't imagine when i pay for the title a dime which is looks like ****.... but i can pay if it will be for my mobile phone (remember PopCap?) or if it will be with good story I can re-played (beTrapped by Oberon Media) or i'll be ready to press a banner if the game i want to play requires it It looks like Flash games requires new business model in order to bring money to game developers. The examples above illustrates known ways on how you can make money with Flash games, but think about ways which needs to be discovered and implemented?
The next thing i want to point on is that i don't see clones of Flash games which i posted before. Interesting isn't it?
Besides this, the mass-multi-player games made with Flash can't be stolen (or it will be extremely difficult to steal it) and use on another website. For example i can refer to Tactics Arena and Dofus games which i don't see on any game portals except the original websites.
