So it is the end of MiniClip, I remember it being one of the first sites I got my games at.

This was coming, but hopefully there are backup plans for it too

Damn... there was only like 5% good games on platforms like that though. Lots of dreck. Some I think fondly of, Ben Librojo's 3D tank hunter, Mind the Blox, then one puzzle platformer, called something like aetherion or something, where you controlled a ball.
Ankon arcade and addicting games were still up a couple of months ago I think last I checked.

Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.

Never heard of it.

It's annoying when statements are made by websites that don't apply to everyone but assume that they do:

The website we all knew and loved as being the ultimate home of entertainment as kids and teens is mostly gone

Never knew it and it didn't exist when I was a teen so had to look it up:

Miniclip SA is a mobile game publisher and a browser game website that launched in 2001

Meh, but for those who somehow were able to enjoy those kinds of games I feel for you.

Was maybe more a millennial thing, I take web cultural awareness tours every couple of months so I don't seem like an old stick in the mud though. Think of it as a contemporary of eBaumsworld, newgrounds etc and catering to same demographic.

Many didn't know Club Penguin until it died. This is another of the cases.

Camp chaos or one of the millions of flash sites.

damn, I remember playing on mini clip when I was young. flash games were pretty much a staple as a kid. It's sad to see it go, but with flash being dead it's really no surprise.
