Miniclip, the most popular browser game site since browser games have existed, has officially unplugged browser games after many years. Worst of all, he did it without even announcing it…
About 2 years ago, in 2020, Flash Player, which made up some of the best times of our childhood, was officially closed and browser games came to an end. Although the past was a wound in our hearts, we somehow managed to get over it.
Actually No official statement has been made however, users realized the situation and created a small agenda on Twitter. Seems like Miniclip is no longer the world’s largest browser-based gaming website.
Miniclip, which started its broadcasting life in 2001 and made millions of people love browser-based games, was unplugged:
Only 8 Ball Pool and Agar.io left:
In the past, when you go to Miniclip’s site and click on ‘Web Games’, although Flash Player is closed, it is still you could see browser games. Now, when you access this site, we see that only 8 Ball Pool and Agar.io remain.
The obvious reason for this is of course Flash Player is turned off. With a secondary reason now that young people and children have easy access to everything. If we give an example from Turkey; In the past, the number of young people and children who owned a computer of their own or that could play AAA games was quite low.
Therefore, browser games were the shortest and fastest way people had to have fun in internet cafes or on their home computers. But now almost everyone has powerful hardware, so there is no need for browser games.
As a result, Miniclip discontinued all browser games except 8 Ball Pool and Agar.io, the two most profitable and released games on each platform.
Miniclip continues on its way as a giant mobile game company:
Acquired by Chinese entertainment giant Tencent in 2015, Miniclip has been a company focused on mobile games since then. In fact, Miniclip, which includes many game studios from many countries, has also bought Masomo, the developer of Head Ball, whose foundations were laid in Izmo in 2019, as our loyal followers will remember:
