Source: https://www.talkesport.com/news/gaming/miniclip-has-officially-shut-down-its-servers-except-for-8-ball-pool-and-agario/ I thought at first Miniclip as a whole was basically going away barring 8 Ball Pool and Agario, but it turns out they've shut down the servers for their web-based games and are shifting focus entirely to their mobile gaming ventures, which have been successful for them as the death of Flash gradually killed off what I expect a lot of people grew up with. Did anyone here ever use Miniclip at any point? If so, what memories or stories do you have to tell from it? I adored this place back when Flash games were all the rage. My school would even unblock the website on Sponsor Day for us to play games on there if that was one of the activities we chose to do for that day, and it was always one of the most popular choices for that day. I'm trying to find a list of all the games they had that were exclusive to them so I can see what ones I played a lot of, but haven't had any luck yet. I hope the games they had were at least preserved by one of those Flash game preservation groups that are out there. I understand that hosting all that stuff is costing more money than it brings in but it would at least be nice to have the ability to play some of the games offline.

Oh how the mighty have fallen. I used to love Miniclip's web browser games back in the day, but the company that exists now barley resembles the one I loved. From a creative and vibrant company putting out fun, if slightly basic, web browser games to the publisher of some of the worst and most predatory free-to-play mobile games out there that, if anything, play worse than thier flash games. Trust me, I'd tried a number of them and they're all the same 1v1 multiplayer titles loaded with pay-to-win lootboxes. I have no doubt they're making a lot more money through the mobile gaming venture than they ever could have with thier browser games, but they're complete scum now.

Thanks Shagger. I'll check the cartridge for dirt. Also I don't install games onto my Switch. I just put the cartridge in and leave it there until I buy another game. This is only the second Switch game I have ever bought. I never had this problem with WRC 8.

We all said that even before it launched - they overpromised and woefully underdelivered. I'm glad it failed and I hope Google leaves the gaming industry for good because we already have enough greedy companies in this sphere.

I'll probably have to put a reminder somewhere. I'll have to go to the market as in the supermarkets, they typically slice the pumpkins and sell it in chunks.

I had a swell time today playing Gran Turismo 7 on my PlayStation 4.

I never played the game, in fact I wish you best of luck and do an review of it once you have put enought hours into it 😉 Sounds fun but it's not my cup of tea. I lost doing ETS latly nowdays

I have played WRC 8 ,I was considering getting the wrc 10 rather than 9 because I heard it's much more better than wrc 8 and 9 combined. Has anyone played the wrc 10?

Excited to hear your point of view on the game, since I agree that 8 has some weird bugs that they appear to not want to backdate and fix.

It is great that you made the purchase, I will be here waiting for your personal experience with WRC 9.

Still going strong with my NG+ playthrough of Horizon Forbidden West and earned the Platinum Trophy a couple of days ago.
