Seems like a good thing, 3 chances one of them will get it right

Exactly this is why current copyright rules are BS. Having multiple studios with pressure from competitors results in better games (and less micro transactions shit to sqeeze franchises to death)

I'm buying at least one of them!
I don't know which one...
Very funny it all happened on the same day

It's not a coincidence it happened on the same day. After the first studio did their announcement the others kind of had to come forward to lay their claim.

Homestuck still haunts the internet.

And yet nobody can ever experience it the way it was originally again since they killed Flash.
It's like coming back from the war with PTSD and nobody understands what you went through. Except the PTSD is about buckets and dating quadrants.

Ruffle or whatever seems to work fine.

People tend to think of digital things as unchanging and permanent but that isn't really the case. I'm fascinated by the concept of bit rot and other ways that digital things can disappear or degrade over time.
It's good that flash is not still an essential part of the modern Internet but its death did firmly cut off an entire era of Internet culture that cannot be experienced in quite the same way.

The official Homestuck site will still let the original SWF files load as long as you have something that can play them. Ruffle works fine. You can also use one of the few browsers that still supports PPAPI plugins (like Falkon) with the official Flash plugin.
But personally I'd say to just use The Unofficial Homestuck Collection, which is more pleasant to read through than the original ever was.
