The Future of Flash the 2020 Deadline of Flash Player - antz - 06-09-2018 Hello Everyone, Has many of you are already fully aware adobe are discontinuing adobe flash player on 2020 there are still many online games portal websites still using flash formats on their portals however I do have a few suggestions to push webmasters in the right direction to prepare for it, do bare in mind however come 2020 the format might become open sourced and there might be developed third party solutions by then to continue support but for the meantime here are the suggestions.
Past 2020 flash will still be a supported format without a doubt, in the past adobe flash player had been discontinued on other operating systems such as Linux and then picked up again 5 years later by Adobe themselves, I heavily doubt adobe would just outright abandon the .swf format and I'm sure there are plans in place to help those to preserve these formats. Many web browsers now already have flash support built-in without the need of installing adobe flash player plugin. I hope this has shed some light on a situation that has not been discussed that well, some useful links are here as follows.
