If I were to make a game that depended on the advanced rendering options available only to the plugin, can anybody tell me roughly what percentage of users will turn away without installing the plugin? (and understandably, that is before the v42 update to Google Chrome)
For those who are unaware, Google is phasing out support for the NPAPI plugin architecture. And as of v42 released on the 15th, NPAPI support is disabled by default (and many users are unlikely to ever enable it). Is there a road-map to migrate the plugin to a newer API/architecture?... is there even an "agreed upon" API to replace NPAPI as an industry-wide solution, or is the world of browser extensions falling back into chaos?
These things will ultimately have an impact on user demographic, and before I direct my team towards one platform or another, I would very much like to know how much of an impact these things will have.
