    Isn't the lack of support on mobile devices killing flash anyways? Look flash is dying, but isn't dead. As much as I wish it completely dead buried in an unmarked grave, this announcement is a good thing for linux users.

        All flash game designers tend to hate STRONGLY Adobe due to lack of Android support, most have already moved to Unity or other suitable gaming engines.

            Why? I get they may make a good product you find useful, but why wouldn't you try to get an open source project up that has the features/tools you need?

              He, he, works immidiately here in FF and VDPAU accel working...

              So nvidia, radeon, amdgpu and amdgpu-pro have nothing to complain there i guess, new up to date supported release and viola you have decode on YT there.

                  Actually it is pretty buggy, but that is curtesy of beta and long revival period from death

                      When did you last play a flash game? (honestly interested) I can't remember ever seeing one for the last eight years.

                      Haven't had flash installed for at least three years and never had any problems except for Spotify Web Player, but as there is a native Spotify client it wasn't really a problem.
