The owner of Flash, Adobe , announced the following. The platform will be "closed" in the coming months. The corporation will abandon it until 2021. After a year, the official support will cease.

Adobe partners will do the same. The corresponding module has already disappeared from some browsers. There will be nothing to play Flash on the Internet.

This threatens tens of thousands of Flash games. Imagine - how many of these have been placed on the Web in 20 years? Among them is a huge number of hits. People still enjoy them today.
