  Just curious really, but with this news (http://www.theverge.com/2015/12/1/9827778/stop-using-flash), what is WGT going to do moving forward?

  Does anyone have any insight?

  If you read the entire article about flash at the bottom is  this paragraph:

   Adobe says it will be working with Microsoft and Google to maintain Flash's compatibility and security inside of web browsers. It's also going to be working with Facebook to make sure that Flash games remain secure.

  Yes Steve, the article was read. 
  
  I think my questions is still relevant though. Flash is dying a very slow death and soon everyone, including Microsoft, Google and Facebook will be moving away from it and advancing to more secure, appropriate means to serve their content.

  With that, does WGT have any plans to advance their technology and move past this dying breed?

  What happens when Firefox or Chrome (or even Edge) say no more flash (which they are slowly doing now? Is WGT just going to say goodbye to those users (hint: doubtful)?

  Sorry if my questions wasn't clear enough, but the resistance against Flash is growing and whether or not Microsoft, Google or Facebook continue to support it in the future, in my opinion, won't be a very profitable venture.
