Adobe Flash is coming to an end
Comments

@LoveDachs Adobe announced well over a year ago that Flash was no longer going to be supported after this year. I'm sure all the developers are aware of this. That is why CC Saga and Farm Heroes have already switched to HTML5. There might be other King games that have switched too. Now that I think about this, there is a notice in the community about some smaller games like Shuffle Cat that is no longer going to be creating new levels and the games won't be available after a certain time. I wonder if that has to do with Flash.

Hi @Elsa & thx for tag @Diamond Lim,
Because of flash coming to a end at the end of the year. The developersย maybe will re-release it, after flash ends, for either mobile or PC, or both.
Best to go to the gaming site, look under news, see what their plans are for the future of the game. If what you are playing is a popular game, then rest assured it will be back, as a general rule.
Also, there are "Emulators" you can use for just about any device. Have 1000's of games from the 8 bit & 16 bit days on my PC.
Here is more info for you on:

I'm not uninstalling Flash for now. I'll wait until next year to get rid of it. Maybe there are non-gaming programs that still require Flash. I think it's just that maybe Adboe will no longer want to make updates on it and that's why it's ending. What a great idea @Origins7_Dale to see if I can get the developer's name for my game but I know that when I tried in the past I couldn't find anything on Google. I joined a Facebook group for help but from what they are saying the developer really doesn't bother with the players. Maybe they don't care what happens to this game but I will look on Google again. Thanks!

Hi @Elsa,
Your welcome. Be sure to see my edit on "Emulators" above. Thought of it after, still waking up here. Might even go back to sleep. (hehe)
Exactly, when support ends, security issues go up. Why we have to keep updating things. Hackers, new technology, etc...

Hello @LoveDachs !
I play on the PC with Window10 and the apps. There are now also the PC versions where the games are converted to HTML5. Some of them have already been implemented. I'll see what happens to the Flash Player outside of the king games. But there is certainly a solution for this.

@Origins7_Dale I just had to look on Google to find out what an Emulator is. I have "Puffin" on my phone and up until last year I was able to play that game on my mobile device. Now the game freezes when I open it with Puffin. I wonder if that's what you are referring to then maybe I should see if there are other apps that do the same thing.
Yep Puffin is an emulator! Just found this but they are referring to using it on a PC. I am going to try contacting Puffin to ask how to fix flash related games. They have to be updating their browser knowing that Flash will be gone soon.

Hi @Elsa & @Spinnifix
Thank you both for the info. I do now remember seeing about Adobe flash coming to an end, and I think you're right that they will come up with a solution. And yes you do have to be cautious using a program that is no longer supported, no longer updates for fixes, security issues, etc., it's a hackers paradise then.
