Why did PR2 die off?

[Northadox]

Platform Racing 2 is a simple, old game with no marketing muscle behind it to speak of, that had a massive lull in development and the plugin that ran it has been deprecated on all modern browsers, and doesn't have much of the lure that multiplayer games nowadays tend to have (...which are admittedly pretty predatory things, but it's what gets players). The fact that we're still talking about it is a miracle in itself.
