>hey have some seriously impressive 3D stuff in the pipeline, which coupled with Air would finally make some good use of Flash as a platform-independent way to create games.

That is true, but on the other hand it looks to me that try to scare developers away by charging them for using it (That includes that they have to open their books, who likes to do that?). I still think they are pretty clueless. Also I wonder why I should use Flash for platform independed game development, steam for Linux seems to be around the corner.



Plus I think they will really have to play catch-up to get to the level of slickness that Unity3D already provides.


Steam is a content distribution platform, not a game engine. Those are dramatically different things.


Along with Steam for Linux comes Left For Dead, which means they are porting Source.


Yes, that's what i was trying to say.
