Replacement for Adobe Flash Player
Thank you for sharing.
Well, I also noticed some websites using type of Flash Player emulator which host Flash content on the web and play it for the end user. It is being used for old games which are still using Flash Player. Since converting Flash Player to HTML5 is not easy.
Yes, but they have to eventually switch, if users keep using them then they never will feel the need to switch.
so i think it's not a good idea to promote using flash emulators. it's like promoting using Windows 7 which just like flash player, has reached end of life, sure people can still use Windows 7 on old machines or virtual machines, but it's not a good practice and has its own flaws.
if something's not easy doesn't mean it shouldn't be done.
transition from flash player is not something that happened overnight, developers that own old flash games had Years of prior notice, they intentionally postponed it.
For this reason, I haven't share the name of those plug-ins.
Adobe , Microsoft and other manufacturers informed public since last year but people won't take action unless there is an action.
I am not much into game development, but it would have been fun like to have some sort of hackathon about developing games using modern web standards like WebGL or Unity3D and so on and make those games ready for Microsoft Edge. It could be a fun remote event.
- Well those technologies are not limited to Edge, they work across many platforms and browsers.
there can be lots of things done but it will go beyond the topic of the forum.Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this.
