Adobe intends to discontinue Shockwave, one platform program based tours for interactive games and applications. His retirement will take place on April 9, 2019.
Adobe will remove Shockwave Player downloads for Windows from its websites and servers on the Internet. The main reason is the rise of alternative technologies that have now supplanted Shockwave. The company notes that its Enterprise customers will continue to receive support for Adobe Shockwave until their contracts expire.
As technologies have evolved and the use of mobile devices has increased, interactive content has moved to platforms such as HTML5 Canvas and Web GL and the use of Shockwave has decreased.

Οι προγραμματιστές χρησιμοποιούσαν το Adobe Director για να δημιουργήσουν περιεχόμενο Shοckwave. Το περιεχόμενο θα μπορούσε να προβληθεί σε οποιοδήποτε συμβατό πρόγραμμα περιήγησης στο Web, υπό την προϋπόθεση ότι έχει εγκατασταθεί στο πρόγραμμα περιήγησης το plugin Adobe Shockwave player. Όσοι από τους αναγνώστες ασχολούνται πάνω από 10 χρόνια με το διαδίκτυο και τους υπολογιστές ασφαλώς θα θυμούνται αυτήν την παλιά πλατφόρμα ως ένα είδος “βίντεο”.
