When the time arrives we will see, but problems are to be expected on websites and applications that relies in adobe flash libraries.
In 2021, Chrome is expected to don't execute adobe flash anymore, but,
¿does it mean they won't update drivers and they will keep using the old ones if the user allows it?
¿there could appear addons or app that allow the adobe flash execution?
¿could they change their minds and reactivate the adobe flash execution after 3, 5 years?
But even if any of these "what if"s happens, it clearly will affect the group of people that will access to your app. If Adobe flash is not default, most people don't look for addons or when google chrome show warnings, most people goes back page without even reading the warning, (not all the warning forbids the entrance), so the game page with adobe flash will indeed loose clients.
What is sure is that adobe flash pass to the past, (so obviously no new content should be created with adobe flash library),for already created content, the general advice is change it to make it not dependant of adobe flash libraries, but in some cases, that can be as much work as recreate the app from scratch. The owner should consider if it worth the effort or not. (If it's a profitable game or a popular game, maybe, if it's a weird joke game made in 1 weekend played by mom and two friends... for what remake it?).
In facebook, many games depend of adobe flash and they have been notified, or they change to the new supported technologies or they will be wiped (because they won't work anymore).
I suposse that friv5 will have to do something similar. (or at least separate the adobe flash games from the ones that don't use it to don't loose visitors).
