But in specific, it depends on the project and its goals. :) Sometimes you want maximum eyeballs, and sometimes Flash just can't do certain things. I would also point out other distribution platforms such as Facebook and iPhone that can give a game significant reach relative to revenue/ROI. (I have no plans to make an iPhone game, but I'm illustrating the point with that example.) To be clear, I will not be bashing Flash or anything like that! :) I still think Flash is great. I have just found Unity gets me straight to the "game" making part of making games more quickly than Flash. PBE will very likely improve that experience for me on the Flash side thanks to your outstanding efforts, but Unity is still going to get a major proportion of my attention for now. So, yeah, I'm going to be your customer, too. ;) Thanks for commenting! In general, I agree with you, Ben.

I agree that Unity is a great piece of tech. Personally, I think ubiquity trumps capabilities, but there's room for both in the world. ;) Cool to hear your thoughts on PBE and Unity.

I'll take cross-compatibility over anything else thanks. Flash works on Linux.
