about Adobe's 'Partner' 2144 in China

Just something to tell to the staff.

Adobe announced it's new Flash distribution partner '2144' in China.

Now users living in China or using zh-cn based systems are unable to install Flash Player from official. For downloads requests are redirecting to 2144, the so-called distribution partner. zh-ch locale systems also affected.

If the 2144 do nothing, it's fine. But they are packing their game center software with the installer. Few days ago, it can be cancelled. Now it's forced to install.      'Install with 2144, or go.'

Now every Flash users in China are complaining about this mess.

It's known to all, Chinese web companies tend to f*ck users system, collect privacy and pack software (usually malware).

And because of this, more and more users are switching to HTML5 when available. 2144 is one of the notorious web companies in China. Of course, we can speculate that Adobe wants to make good use of the remaining life of Flash, for Flash will end its life by 2020.

Thank you Adobe, for making such clusterf*ck which helping yourself to destroy Flash.

Have a nice day!
