This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Plenty of mobile games are clones of free Flash games with added monetization.

For example Angry Birds is just Crush the Castle.

Noe, I'm not going to argue that these mobile games are good, but they're shitty because of their monetization schemes. As free flash games that were short enough to not overstay their welcome they were fine.

Add to that there being a few flash games that were genuine attempts at art. Which I think are valuable if for no other reason than to see the history of indie games.
