Went for in house, as you would expect the staff to be part of the community which builds trust in what they write.
If i want a review from another site i will navigate to it.
If i want flash games ill ask my 9 year old sister what the latest one is.

Very unhappy at the decision to change Tom's Games to a "Flash Games" site. So typical of the world today, cheap and cheesy over quality. Stupidity rules the day. Very sad situation.

This poll was a very good idea. Hopefully it will send a message to those wanting to change what this site is all about.

I liked Toms Games as it was.

Don't like this change, I think it spells FAIL. There are hundreds of flash game websites out there....

No way I'm going to use Tom's Games to play stupid flash games. I may flee Tom's altogether as many other veterans have, for the greener pastures of HardOCP, FiringSquad, AnandTech, or any of the numerous tech sites I routinely visit.

I am alittle disappointed. I loved the site but It is no longer on my list of sites to visit. You were great Toms, but o well :(

I don't really know what else I can say... I'm disappointed with this turn of events, and I certainly didn't ask for, or even predict, this. I did already voice, with a lot more detail, what I felt, and my reasoning, over in Rob's original posting regarding this.

I think that their editors wanted to leave for whatever reason, so they decided instead of getting new ones to just turn the website into a cheap flash game website. No sane person would willingly make that sort of change without extenuating circumstances. I don't buy for 1 second the BS they gave about "the industry is going in a new direction" and "flash games are the future" nonsense.

I would say that the bad economy would be an "extenuating circumstance". They probably saved at least $120,000 by laying of 3 people and now are running a site with almost no overhead.
