The Future of Games on the Web
Rob Hawkes has written an excellent post on the future of Web (particularly plugin-free HTML5) games.
One of his main points is that people have been porting games from other platforms in an attempt to “validate the platform”, while developers should be using the web to its full advantage instead of treating it like just another platform to port to. Things like deep-linking to game parts, the ease of providing user-generated content and APIs for game elements.
