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.

What happened to online games?

    As mentioned, Flash was sunsetted for a lot of reasons

    Unity and a few other game engines have “native” clients that can run in browsers and some promotional things have used them. Same with folk who go crazy with html5/js.

    But mostly? There isn’t a need anymore. Because it is easier to just make a phone app
