Flash games

Greetings.

I would have liked to suggest a new category for twitch.
I'm only an amateur streamer, starting my journey through broadcasting and I was surprised to see no category exists for flashgames, or really small indie games in general.

I think flashgames are an important part of the ecosystem and I would have liked to be able to showcase it during my lives.

Would it be possible to add it to the list?

I think "Flash games" as a name would be perfect.

What do you think?

    I just want to develop my opinion about mini / flash games in this comment, I hope you will find that intresting : )

    Lots of flashgames are now iconic, we could talk about motherload, Kingdom rush, learn to fly, hedgehog launch, age of war.... the list doesnt end ahahah

    As a sidenote, the total number of plays for the games I listed alone is close to 200 million, its a very conservative estimate as some platforms don't share the number but here we are, this is HUGE !

    Flashgame made whole genres popular: tower defenses,
    Idle games, etc...
    Platforms dedicated to publishing and sharing flashgames like armorgames, newground and so many more made that possible and I would like to give them more visibility.

    Flash games are part of the pop culture and so, a big source of innovation and inspiration,
    A lot of developpers, graphists, coders live in this ecosystem to experiment, improve themselves and share ideas. Its a very important link wich makes games what they are today.

    I would like to give mini games / flash games the attention they deserve : )

    Please let me know if you find sense in that, I will apreciate any feedback.
