Adobe to cut off Flash support on December 31

17 June 2020
Adobe will prompt users to uninstall Flash beforehand and will block remaining content that still relies on the legacy platform.

Yet another W for Apple, are you guys able to keep count still?

It's a game and animation archive which supports many legacy platforms such as Flash, shockwave player, Microsoft Silverlight, Unity Web Player and others. It has over 50000 games and 2900 animations, and it gets updated with new content every month.

                Oh, as if interfering with the market is not a big law suite waiting to happen.

                  AmyHopps10, 17 Jun 2020What to do for teenagers if this happens?You won't need to do anything. All your favourite websites won't be using Flash.

                          is this yet another threat or a promise this time? hey adobe, get on with it already, and drop flash. tired of hearing of this regurgitated story for 10 years.

                                    Sure there's Toon Boom to replace Adobe Flash animations but what about us, nostalgia gamers who grow up with bad PCs but good internet? Y8 will die from this.

                                    The worst part is Mega Man X: Corrupted. I don't watch JKBGames's stream but I hope he replaced Actionscript 3 with common codes like C. Flash games use Actionscript so it would be a heavy blow for the guy who would've made the best Mega Man X game ever made.

                                      Thanks Apple, Flash was horrible experience with touch screen devices. It worked ok with desktop, but it wasnÂ’t meant for mobile devices. I remember all the whining from typical Android fans back then as usual. And where we are now, haha. Flash been basicly dead for many many years. I think iPad was biggest thing to kill flash, after iPad showing that not working Flash icon, internet changed quite fast to lot better.

                                        Good riddance.thank you Apple for pushing HTML5 and not supporting Flash in the early days of iPhone,that really pushed a lot of this.
