Angry Birds now in a web browser... with rabbits

Aol Games: "Just minutes after we finished telling you why Angry Birds on the iPhone is the proverbial lick, along comes a free version in a web browser.

Sort of. Well, actually not quite. All Rabbits Must Die is basically the exact same concept - right down to the way you get additional points for any unused projectiles, and even the styling of the level select screens. Angry, indeed."

They should be worried. They we told they were free to be creative to dev. a walking sim, and now Phil and the Lady are walking that back.

let's look at the other side of the coin. why did HellBlade 2 which is a short game took more than half a decade to develop? If a game is taking millions upon millions to make then expectations will grow and when those expectations fail to meet then decisions are made.

I am not defending MS here, above is just my humble opinion.

Everything they bought is at risk, Game Pass is NEVER going to be able to support all the development for these studios while also maintaining any kind of catalog of new games.

If it wasn't supporting itself before they bought all these studios it's obviously not going to be able to support even more.

Pretty apparent they next on the cutting block. Hellblade 2 is a week out and the only noise from XBOX marketing is akin to a fart. Not even a loud pants-ripping fart....but a shameful supressed one.

To be clear though, Steam does not restrict use of their platform in any country. So, to say that Sony delisted games in Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, and other similar regions is disingenuous. The taliban doesn't allow video games in Afghanistan.

There are many restrictions in many countries. Painting this as a false dichotomy of Sony or Valve ignores all other layers of what is going on.

Just be honest in your journalism about what countries are left out. Those countries should a) have internet access b) allow the game.

There's literally almost 170 countries and mentioned 3, and Taliban banned PUBG only, do you seriously think that these countries that had games all this time, suddenly decided to ban games when Sony wanted to put PSN as a restriction

Sony would be stupid to let valve run the show. They would be bad at business if they did that.
