  Anyone wishing to see, the "very near" future, of everything, need only go to, the new show, on National Geographic channel, by the name of, "Year Million"

  If someone could hyperlink that, it would be easier, I suppose.

  Here you go Joe...

  I see today that Adobe will stop Flash in 2020 - so unless WGT moves platform - that will probably be the end of the game as well.

  Any plans WGT?

  As you likely know, Apple have never supported Flash on the iOS mobile platform.  So, WGT already have at least one alternative working.

  Cheers, --Berto

   As long as there are enough entities on the www running flash adobe will at the very least put out a final version that they will update periodically, which is actually what the status quot is now, ,,,,flash has already ended ,it just has not been completely replaced...

    As far as WGT goes, .they WILL in the interest of supporting the almighty dollar deal with either a less stable less updated version of adobe flash, OR completely change how the website works because they would be forced to..not for you or me, but because wanting to make money will make it so..

    I do not think they would just put a sign up one day that said :closed for business, wgt would figure out a way to try to keep you spending your time and money on the game....sans adobe or not....

  Microsoft Google and Firefox plan to remove support for the flash plugin from their browsers in 2020. So flash  will definitely disappear from almost all computers and will no longer be a viable platform.
