Following the similar, final steps that Yahoo!, Chikka, Friendster, and Internet Explorer took, Adobe’s Flash will terminate its support on the program come 2020, taking with it the diverse amount of programs and games.
Flash, more commonly associated with simple control games that are playable via web browsers, runs as what is called the Adobe Flash Player that grew on popularity way back in the early 2000’s.
While Flash’s domination was pretty evident on the 2000’s, the advent of smartphones on 2007 and differing codes for new and additional net security made the Flash era crumble to goodbye.
HTML5 standards have been the benchmark of web browsers in the past decade in terms of animation and additional security, making Flash in particularly no place anymore concerning programming and web browsing.
Issues of Flash forcing the page back to the ads, steal focus from the browser, and being a security threat are some of the reasons why Adobe decided to take off the support from Flash, taking it into question if whether or not the more than 80,000 Flash games will be preserved or be completely erased.
The program that was particularly inclined in enabling animation and graphics playable on the internet happened to be a versatile tool for creating basic game, thus raking a following from basic game creators and coders aside the target market which are the artists.
Apple’s Safari, Google’s Chrome, and Edge from Microsoft have already not been allowing Flash in them making Adobe to just drop the case for the program since its main platform is through browsers.
Although Adobe’s announcement said that they won’t support Flash anymore, they also clarified that they will still support Adobe Animate, which is the re-branded version of Flash.
