Good bye my sweet.
All you can eat nachos, pizza, and drinks of all sorts.
And now a poem.
Oh Web Player, Web Player,
you play your games so well.
May your death be swift and painless.
While we ring the church bell.
Oh sweet Web Player
From depths of the night,
I have come to be your slayer.
For I am WebGL
Fly high into the sky
Oh sweet Web Player
I feel your pain…
Goodbye, faithful plugin companion. U_____U Today we part ways…
Good riddance as it’s a pain in the arse trying to run Unity demos, since nobody bothers making webgl versions. That means chrome & edge.
So I never bother buying assets with webplayer demos. Only those smart enough to realise half the planet already can’t run webplayers - those people who have a webgl demo 
Despite the fact that I’m the exact same way, I haven’t gotten around to updating my asset’s webplayer demo to WebGL yet… 
Hahaha I know, I’m just being mildly evil 
And reminding asset authors of potential lost revenue.
But webgl is a pain to host - without hosting
and webplayer just worked! When something just works - it’s sad to see it go.
I agree completely!
Although actually in all of these cases… they are all still available (although the computers are in limited supply these days).
In fact, I have even considered switching back to Blitz3D and the FastExtension library for my 3D game dev. lol
So yeah, I guess in this case the Web Player’s fate is worse.
Can’t you see I am in mourning here!
I really loved that feature. I played with it for about a year before support was stop.
R.I.P Webplayer ;-;
I have mixed feelings. Webplayer was great, once someone had installed the plugin. Convincing people to install an unusual plugin was a pain. I’m not sad to see the need for an install go.
However WebGL is not up to the same stability and ease of use yet. Currently there is no replacement that fills the same niche as web player.
I guess when its only WebGL or nothing, those thousands of websites with unity games are pressure for both Unity and browsers to get their acts together. It’s a good thing for others as well. Sometimes transitions can be painful but necessary.
I never used it before. Can i still crash the party??? Do i get cake??
The cake is a lie.
Did I miss an announcement? Did they officially kill the web player today?
Not yet but in 5.4 they will
@GarBenjamin : That’s not the original C64. That’s the newer one using modern parts. 
No cake = no fun
Amusingly enough I whipped up the terrible castle environment for Mark Sibly way back when as seen in the last screenshot. Wherever there is an engine, there’s probably a hippo contributing somewhere in the mists of time.
Its hard to eat cake at funerals.
