Yes I totally agree Joseph, I should have mentioned that because I've been talking to people recently about micro-transactions in social games as the new way forward for Flash developers. Thanks for your comment. Thanks Colm.

It's true that just ads and sponsorships is not enough to live off of, but new and better was have been created to make money off of them. The most popular way right now is creating very social based games (facebook, virtual worlds) that involve micro-transactions. This is becoming a very lucrative market when it comes to flash games. Also the other way that is pretty popular is just creating games for other companies. Some companies are even going as far as to sell them as stand alone games using AIR, this is a really new area and not much info has been collected, but it's growing.
