It could be that outlook on flash games that is causing gamers to abandon them. If you only look for groundbreaking games, you are going to miss the good and the great ones.
There are over 3000 games on Armor Games. I have played about 200 of them. Most of them that I find that I like are games that have been here longer than I have, and I find them because I look for them using the category system to find ones I may enjoy.
Armor Games is full of hidden treasures. It is up to the loyal gamers to find them.
