Ads (FGL Ads, announced shutdown in a separate post 1 or 2 weeks ago, follows the shutdown ~a year ago of the former largest ad company in this space Mochimedia), in-game services (Gamersafe leaderboards, achievements etc), and distribution (Flash Game Distribution). The marketplace is the only thing staying up although it's massively declined too and now has 0 people working on it after layoffs a few weeks ago.

You're right in illustrating how things are winding down - I just wanted to point out it wasn't a complete shutdown of all things Flash. Ads were never as big a component of the flash game industry they are in mobile apps: sponsorship and mtx were the kings.
