Will the "Old Flash" version of Candy Crush Saga which you play at King.com be retired when Adobe Flash Player stops working in December 2020? The Chrome browser gives the message that "Flash Player will no longer be supported after December 2020."  @Mim_ @Peter_Tornaros I know this is of interest to you.

Hi there!

Come December 2020, the Flash Player & its Plugins will cease to exist. The year 2020 marks the End of the Flash Player Era. Adobe will fully end the support and distribution for it. Every content creators like Gaming, Education and Video Sites will migrate any existing Flash Contents to HTML5.

Hi there!
So will all the older King games that we can now play on the PC/Laptop at King.com just disappear?

All the King Games will be converted to HTML5. I am sure they are preparing or are already working on it.

Each major browsers will have HTML5 built in.  As users, all we need to do is to make sure that our browser is regularly updated. Since HTML5 is built-in in every browser, it will be automatically updated if there is an one during the browser update.

What's great about HTML5?

HTML5 has been designed to deliver almost everything you'd want to do online without requiring additional software such as browser plugins. It does everything from animation to apps, music to movies, and can also be used to build incredibly complicated applications that run in your browser.

What does it do?

HTML5 can be used to write web applications that still work when you're not connected to the internet; to tell websites where you are physically located; to handle high definition video; and to deliver extraordinary graphics.

Hope this helps!

@mercerik Thank you
 So it does seem like the "old flash" version will go away. Too bad, that is where I go to collect regular boosters for collecting sugar drops. In the old version there are no timed boosters. I better stock up on regular boosters while I can.

The Flash Player will be completely gone by the end of 2020. If by freak of nature it is still there beyond the date, it will pose Security Risks to your Network. I wouldn't take a risk if I were you. It is not worth it.

Good Morning to you! It is good to pay attention to the warning. It gets you out of harm's way. Did you know that I put a Warning on Flash Player in a Thread in this Community but no one bothered to read? It could have save them a lot of pain. I've been through these issues before with the game Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? It was like deja vu all over again. The cause of the problem is hiding in plain sight.

Will we retain our boosters when Flash goes away?

I think you need to experience how beautiful Candy Crush Saga in Flash is. It's more beautiful than HTML5 I have ever seen.

It's not too late.

Hi @applann51 @NamTruong2001 !

Most browsers will stop using or supporting Flash Player soon. So no games running on Flash will no longer work. Therefore most sites and games are being transferred to HTML5.

I understand but will the boosters i have earned be transferred also?

NamTruong2001

Do you understand how hard I tried to earn hundreds of boosters. Then what happen when the Flash will have gone? Where will lots of boosters and exclusive feature of mine go, the things that HTML5 have never had? I very very hate HTML5 because of too much non-sense things in the game, map texture, candy sliding, realistic things, they will be gone in front of my terrible sudden surprise.

So, it's time to say goodbye to this game.

Thank Candy Crush Saga for giving me a most beautiful childhood in my life.

Hope that the old graphic and I will see each other in other good time.
