Adobe Flash Player vs HTML5

bikeboy (GB1)bikeboy (GB1) Posts: 486
I have again been doing some reading while taking a break from BigFarm,  I came across this from my friend,  ...

"YouTube Videos Played With HTML 5 – The Death Of The Adobe Flash Player Is Imminent. Many people have complained on forums that Adobe is not as competent as before and some YouTube insiders admitted that the company had in mind to use the Flash Player for a long time, but because of the big problems with the software, the video giant preferred to pick HTML 5 as the default player engine."

Now I do not wear rose trimmed glasses while on big farm so that allows me to see the world in its true colours. The way GGS are running the games, especially all the "buy GOLD" offers and the seemingly reluctance to address and fix all the bugs within the game, One must wonder if GGS feel the same way as the headline above and therefore are taking what they can while they can. It certainly does seem like a closing down sale that you see in the cities. I of course could be wrong, but the simple fact is.. if the death of adobe flash player does occur soon HOW will big farm run...the answer is it will not.

I love Big Farm which is why I play it, but that love does not hide the plain and clear facts about how the game has changed greatly over the past year.

  • Very good points "boy" There does seem to be a lot of stuff going on and as you say it is alike a clearance sale. Maybe Big Farm could start using the hmtl5 stuff, I know a lot of game sites have changed over. No more buying gold from myself
  • The game actually runs on GGS servers, and that part would not need any changes.  The flash part is just the user interface, and that could easily be ported to HTML 5 by any competent programmer.

    Does GGS has a date as to when they will stop using flash player? Would love to play on my tablet. I am sure that there would be more players if the game was "tablet friendly". The UK server is in need of new players...

    Flash player is responsible for the slowwwww game and is on its dead bed. Its suffering, and makes us suffer. Please GGS relieve us of Flash...

    Great link DDu and thanks for posting it.This explains more then i could imagen and i am sure that there are more like me.
  • Yes a good link.. I just noticed that nafaru "reduced the text size" in my original post,, wonder why, so the bits do not stand out ? Take a good look at the way the game is going, take a look at flash player.. all the big hitters are doing away with flash player. Some of the biggest companies on the WWW said not to trust adobe flash player and BLOCKED it , yet GGS in their wisdom said there was no safety issue... seems strange that google and firefox thought otherwise, but then again google and firefox try to prevent nasty things on our comps which is the opposite to others , greed greed greed

    If you're so bothered by Big Farm using flash, why do you continue to play the game?

    why are you so bothered that im so bothered.. just keep wearing your rose tinted glasses and everything will be rosey.  It would take a total IDIOT not to know about the problems associated with flash player, It is not just the fact Big Farm uses Flash Player it is the FACT that there are known problems with it YET those in GGS refuse to warn players and actually tell us that it is safe. Obviously if players stop using flash... stop playing ... stop buying gold..... oh I now see why GGS do not tell us.

    I don`t see how you can accuse Jess of wearing rose tinted glasses & then go right on to say that it would take an total idiot not to know about the problems with flash player. If the problems are so well known, why do you need GGS to warn you about them?

    I have never seen GGS say there are no issues with Flash, in fact I have seen them say the exact opposite, but the point is, that flash is an Adobe application, so if you want to blame someone for its issues, why are you slamming GGS instead of Adobe? Its not like BF is the only thing that uses Flash, I don`t recall getting any "warnings" everytime I use YouTube.

    You have every right to criticise GGS for problems with their game, but you do seem to be going out of your way to find things to blame them for. I am responsible for what I install on MY computer & I choose to instal Flash, because I use apps that require it & I want to use them, more than I am worried about the risks, so I would still have Flash even if BF didn`t use it.

    I'm not bothered at all sweetie. I simply asked a question. Is there something wrong with that? I don't recall GGS saying its safe. Do you have a link for that? We all know BF uses flash & I think its up to us to educate ourselves about what we allow on our computers.

    I have to wear rose tinted glasses due to a rare eye condition. That's very rude of you to ridicule me over something I have no control over. I'm pretty upset about this but I'm not going to let it get me down. If I must say so myself, I think I look mighty fine in my rose tinted glasses. I get a lot of compliments on them when I go out. ;)

    lol That's classic Jess, and you do look kinda hot in those glasses :)
    Trike boy is just another player who loves to argue and insult anyone who disagrees with him so not really worth the worry :)
    No doubt my comment will be removed once he responds trying to insult me and starting another argument :)

    ha ha who is issuing the insults now, did i actually insult any particular person .... and if you look back you will see a reply from one of the CM's stating that there was no safety issue in using flash. I carry on using it because i believe the risks are minimal and if i do not use flash i cannot play big farm. i know there could be a risk, so i take the risk. not knowing or being misinformed is wrong.   o:)  o:)
  • i have noticed there are a lot less players wearing the rose tinted glasses these days and are seeing the game and the BUGS in the true light. Do not panic though, Adobe flash player will not be with us much longer, it is hanging on by the smallest finger nail  B)
  • Poor bikey being insulted by a troll on the forum, he may be scarred for life over that insult. If he is thinking of compensation i know a really good solicitor. Poor lad my never be able to ride a bike again.

    Probably because YouTube doesn't use Flash.
  • I must say, I am getting hugely annoyed that this game does not use HTML5. I have a MacBook Pro with 16 GB of RAM/Memory, yet it is still slow as molasses especially when I need other programs up as well. 

    When are they going to switch to HTML5?
