Adobe made some pretty serious mistakes when they bought Macromedia. They killed shockwave in favor of Flash and now Flash has seen it's best days long gone by. Meanwhile back before they killed shockwave, they had probably the most advanced browser based gaming engine on the net and the failed to realize it.

Had they invested in shockwave, they would have owned the 3d browser based game market and it would have just now been coming into it's prime. Instead they killed shockwave due to lack of future vision and now flash is on it's death bed..

I'm just amazed they couldn't see this coming.
