In December 2018, access via desktop computer to most sections of the site became limited, as links to watch episodes and play games on the site currently all redirect to a page asking viewers to download the network's mobile and tablet apps (both the network's app, along with separate game apps) for access to games and programming instead. As of December 2018, Nick.com no longer makes online games. This is likely due to Google Chrome's upcoming changes that will make access to Adobe Flash (which the site was built on for years) difficult to non-existent in line with Flash's phase-out by the end of 2020, requiring a large-scale rebuild of the desktop site that cannot be done behind the scenes. It is possible that access to programming and games for desktop visitors could be restored in some point in the near future, with all elements having full compatibility with HTML5 standards. Those videos and games remain accessible via the alternative .tv domain of nick.tv.
