What happened to online computer games?
In like, 2005-2010ish I remember there being these awesome online games through sites like Mini Clip. All disappeared from the internet.
I understood it had something to do with Java? Or… some plug in? I don’t really understand what either of those mean.

this guy happened^
I remember hacking my itouch and installing Cydia, then downloading a hack that added flash support. I felt amazing being able to play flash games at school
It has nothing to do with Jobs. Adobe killed the technology that all of those games ran on.
You mean Flash? That iOS refused to support?
Oh that's right! I completely forgot about that. To be fair, they said they wouldn't support it because of all the security holes, and then Adobe killed it a few years later. But yeah, Apple shunning it probably did contribute to its death. My bad!
exactly what I was getting at 😉 Steve Jobs had a hard on for html5
