If u actually bothered to look into the online flash gaming sites, u will notice that the majority of them do it this way, although most dont go the extra bit and force u to play on their own site, instead they limit features.
Games "made exclusively" for these sites often arent playable from the author's own site, or at least limited functionality on their site.
The author's do not receive revenue from ArmorGames. They receive it from the built-in ads, which is why systems like MochiAds were invented. So that the author gets the money regardless of who "steals" their game for use on another site.
Unless this removes the built-in ads, this is NOT hurting game developers in the slightest bit, but it IS helping...
More views/plays is the goal of the author when they start these arrangements with sites, so that they get more from the built-in ads.
This only hurts the companies such as ArmorGames, which are, in the end, only big advertising companies, and we could all do without...

I like this guy  he actually does research on something before posting his opinion.
The reason why I said none of you have played the game is because the game has a button to remove the ads. =P
