It's such a shame there wasn't anything that could be done to help bring Flash games into the modern era, you know, patching up its code so it wouldn't be a security risk or whatever. Flash games definitely were the best, they had an unpolished, chaotic charm you don't see much these days. Sad that a lot of games may not have been archived - that, and you can no longer use those cheating websites for specific Flash games

With the advent of HTML5 there was no point from a business perspective to continue maintaining flash. It's not that Adobe couldn't have continued it, it's that they had no real reason to.
