Adobe Flashplayer reached EOL and was forced to self-destruct on most computers at the end of 2020.
Shitty move on Adobe's part, and a death-knell to many sites that depended on flash content.
Gaia didn't prepare well for this from what we can see today, and most games are still flash-based as of this writing.
Ruffle was in early development in 2021 and not capable of handling Gaia's games. zOMG famously was largely inaccessible for years due to the flash apocalypse.
2021 must have been a mass exodus for Gaians who wanted easy playable games as part of the experience. What can we track down from that period?
