JDGHOST:If flash is unplayable at the end of 2020 (Which it won't be there will always be ways to play flash version some browsers will continue to carry flash for a longtime past that date)
I think you're opening up a can of worms by splashing that statement round JD. Yes I know Champ mentioned something about some browsers possibly still having flash working after 2020 and the old game potentially being accessible that way. But he said it in a fairly offhand manner and not as a statement of fact.
I don't think anyone has a clear picture of what the post-2020 flash landscape will look like as it pertains to this game, but even if you can find a browser that still has flash working, and even if you can use it to access the old flash game (a couple of big"ifs" right there) then it remains true that flash will no longer be supported. That means that any glitches, crashes or other game play problems that exist or arise will not be fixed. It can only deteriorate over time, and any new features or improvements that are added to the EA/Steam versions will not appear in the flash version.
In my opinion if anyone wants to go on playing WGT beyond 2020 then using the new version is the sensible choice. Yes, you have to practice and relearn some aspects of the game and yes it looks a bit different if you haven't seen the mobile version. But pinning your hopes on being able to carry on playing the flash game as if nothing has happened is just whistling past the graveyard.
No offence meant.
