eeey its been a while since ive seen that pic haha

Like many people, I work with crappy computers at work. I have noticed that gamers are capable of working around tech issues and get stuff done.
They need less guidance with software updates or new software that gets implemented.
Decades of buggy, incomplete games really help with problem solving.

gold_drake134d ago

yeh, work pcs are shiiit

where i work, all pcs are still windows 7 haha.

all of the programs are so old and outdated it hurts.
but that issue will stay that way as not everyone is familiar with pcs and the older generation is ... more or less helpless with them haha. not all of them of course but most of them

If you want to remain relevant you need a mobile powerhouse. MS got Minecraft, maybe King soon, T2 got Zynga, EA got Glu, Tencent got most of the other big ones.

Sony is likely looking for one too or they will be left behind.

Sony already owns the #2 highest grossing mobile game ever in Fate/Grand Order.
That game is close to Genshin Impact levels of monthly revenue.

Lifexline380d ago

Well angry birds still makes money so it’s not a dead horse. They just need another hit.

darthv72380d ago

Angry Sonic, Angry Tails, Angry Amy, Angry Knuckles, Angry Chaos....

Lifexline380d ago

Lol yeah you would be surprised at what could sell. I could see it.

porkChop379d ago

Angry Taxi might actually work.

blackblades379d ago (Edited 379d ago )

Looks like something MS would grab. I wont be surprised some how ms gets Sega with this included magically.

We could fund more games like Sonic Mania

We could buy the music rights back to Sonic 3

We could reboot some old franchises like Ristar, Shinobi, Gunstar Heroes or Golden Axe

...Nah. Angry Birds it is

Wait, have they even made anything since then? Thought they were a one-hit wonder lol.

darthv72380d ago

I didn't know they did a bunch of stuff prior to Angry Birds:

Pretty much everything since has been a spin off. Now maybe Sega will make Angry Chaos or something similar.

FallenAngel1984379d ago

Mojang only made one game and Microsoft still purchased them for $4 billion

Sometimes one property is all you need especially when it’s lucrative

MadLad379d ago

Angry Birds fell out of relevance years ago, but whatever they want to do lol.
