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?

    The market reason is mobile games sucked up all the developers that would make flash games.

    Kids aren’t sitting at desktops all day anymore, so you make your game for ipad instead

        Exactly. The money is crazy for mobile games if it pops off. Where as flash games are really hard to monetize.

        Web games are basically only hobby projects these days.
