What the fuck is Silverlight
Microsoft Flash. Netflix used it for a while. I don't remember anything else using it.
A bunch of Disney movie sites did for a while, back in the day when every movie had it's own website with trailers, promo, and a link to buy tickets and/or the DVD release.
Ahh good times
The League of Legends launcher used it at one point. Not sure if it still does.
I was going to say there's no way they still are since Silverlight was discontinued by Microsoft in 2013, but it is Riot Games so ¯\(ツ)/¯
EA Tiburon in Orlando used flash for a while to do the menus in Madden and other sports games.
Be glad, you never had to interact with that 'technology'. I once did at an internship in 2016.
