You might have misunderstood what Propane Guy was trying to say, I hope I can clearify it:
1: shockwave.com had the game on their site to play
-> there are advertisements on the website
-> more people see the ads, more money for xform
2: games made with adobe shockwave cannot be played anymore
-> people cant play the games
-> they dont see ads (because they took the game from the site)
-> no more money for xform
