[QUOTE="Hypothesis, post: 448889, member: 83881"] This topic has been spiraling around for quite while, since the announcement of Flash being discontinued. I'm sure everyone is aware that Flash is expected to be discontinued in 2020, but what exactly does this mean? I've done digging into this, and got statements like. [I]"[/I]Until then, [B]Adobe[/B] will [B]still[/B] partner with the likes of Apple, Mozilla, Microsoft and Google to offer security updates for [B]Flash[/B] in their browsers and support new versions of them, but beyond that, [B]Adobe[/B] will not offer any new [B]Flash[/B] features.[I]"[/I] [I]"[/I]For existing [B]Flash[/B] content, the eventual, final version of the [B]Flash[/B] plug-in [B]will still work after 2020[/B], and Adobe [B]will work with[/B] browser makers [B]to[/B] ensure security vulnerabilities are patched. ... So here's [B]to[/B] you, [B]Flash[/B]. [I]"[/I] When I read these statements, my understanding is Flash will be just like Shockwave when it was discontinued. Shockwave was apparently discontinued officially last month, April, and that mean't that no more shockwave downloads existed, but thing is, there's third party websites and/or people that have the original Shockwave download and all Shockwave content will still run if you have it installed already. This means all Flash content will still work in 2020, there just won't be anymore security patches to it is what I presume. If they just so happen to remove Flash downloads from the official website after 2020, wouldn't it be possible for someone from the retro community to just upload their Flash download? Technically speaking, this means that retros would still be possible in the year 2020 and so on, not saying people should still be making them after Flash is discontinued, but it's indeed possible. What're your thoughts on these statements and what will happen to Flash? [/QUOTE]
