Game engines like Unity and the like do have web support, so I'm confused on why they want to close down further game submissions completely.
It's a damn shame that I won't be able to play hot new games and score badges because I've been doing that since 2011 - it was my go-to web game site and it's a damn shame I won't be able to do that any more (although I don't play Flash games too too often any more, and it seems idle games are forever ubiquitous nowadays).
Reading the forums, it seems this decision was done by Kongregate's parent company (now "MTG", no longer GameStop since 2017) and Flash games being generally unprofitable to maintain on the site, and to push Kartridge further.
Regardless, a true shame.
Bingo, I think they closed submissions on Kong in hopes of pushing Kartridge.
