Looking at the sponsors, there are some big players in the old Flash world supporting this (Newsground, ArmorGames... even NYT?). What I can't understand is why Kongregate isn't among them.
Maybe I'm overestimating the money a site like Kongregate pulls in. I've assumed they'd have cash to throw at something that could resuscitate their catalog, so it's odd to see them not doing anything in the WASM space.
Modern kongregate is a shell of its former self. The vast majority of the people I knew who made it great back in the day, including the founders, have long since departed.
They would benefit greatly from a new Flash player, yet it seems they are content with having their users figure it out themselves ( https://www.kongregate.com/forums/1-kongregate/topics/193280... ).
