Source 2 UI Disappointment

Idk what went through Valve's head when they decided this, but it looks like the UI for all Source 2 games is going to be based on........ FLASH?!?!?!?

 

WHAT THE HELL?

 

I know people hate on SimCity and the Glassbox Engine it runs on but one of the things Maxis/EA did right with it is using HTML 5 for the UI, and it caused no issues.

Now if modders want to add or change UI elements in any Source 2 games they need to use expensive commercial software on an out of date and dying platform.

This is ridiculous.

Why do you think they may have made the decision?

 

Honestly I have no idea, but I am assuming they're using RAD Game Tools' Iggy thing, because it fits this description perfectly.

Honestly it doesn't look that bad, but it's frustrating I have to buy CS 5 for source modding now.

It says more recent versions of this tool also work, in reference to CS5, so CC might be a decent option instead of CS5
