Just want to say that since im using Android alot and Chrome as the browser of choise, it prevents me from comming to your site since Gamespot is based on video reviews but its only Flash enabled.

Are there any plans for moving from Flash to Html5 video?

For years I've wanted everyone to go to HTML5 and for Flash to die. HTML5 is FARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR better and it baffles me that Flash remains so popular when a hugely superior alternative exists.

Because a lot of these websites existed before HTML5 was gaining traction, and Flash was the go-to player at the time they were developed. It takes a lot of time, effort and money to redevelop websites. I'm sure as time goes on Flash will start dying out though, as current website migrate away from it and new sites will just start out on HTML5.

I'm certain that we will soon see most media sites migrate from Flash to HTML5.
