Gah, you beat me to it! I had started a blog post on the same subject a few weeks ago, but only finished it today. Seems like everyone is writing an article on Flash game monetization these days. ;)

Mine includes some more obscure monetization methods though. See how you like it:

Hey mate,

You are right about your feelings towards non-exclusives. To be honest I don’t think anyone is wrong. I do however think that we must discuss our models, the way we see the market today and how where is it going for the next couple of years.

I believe the discussion is needed and for that we need to get closer to how other media acknowledges content, in this case, the games we make.

Thanks Paolo, I can’t believe I forgot to add microtransactions. It’s been put into the article now.

Vlad, thanks for the comment. I felt that non-exclusives were a type of sponsorship in a way, since the portal is paying to have their own branding within the game (even if it can’t be distributed). Like I mentioned on your site, there should be a post coming up sometime in the future on the ideal sponsorship (which will be more along the lines of what you have in your comment).
