"Angry Birds seems to be the most popular game in the world right now, simply because it’s so easy to play. It’s on most platforms, it takes 10 seconds to download and you can jump on at any time. So now we come to the point of this article: I said in the news post “it looks like small, downloadable games really are the way forward”, but since then I’ve been thinking. Are they, really?"
The Japan-based entertainment conglomerate is expected to pay about $1 billion for Rovio Entertainment.
Wait, have they even made anything since then? Thought they were a one-hit wonder lol.
Rovio should be embarrassed over the way it's handled Angry Birds.
Rovio has released a statment saying that Angry Birds popularity means its culling on Android after Thursday 23rd Feb 2023.
Hilarious they see what the market wants, and instead of making more things like that, kills it and is trying to funnel people towards a worse prodcut because GaaS trash makes them more money. Why did they even remake the game and sell it for a buck in the first place then?! The version they're killing hasn't even been out a year.
Also, completely removing from Google Play, but renaming on Apple? Why removing on one and keeping on the other?
This is why I love Android. You can go to a site like apk mirror and download the apk cracked and install it. Also you can torrent hundreds of Android games so easily. They can pull anything they want off the store I wouldn't care less 🤣
This is why mobile games need to die once and for all. These companies are hilarious. I understand they need to make money but this is just an insult.
no! its just a great time killer when you are in a boring situation.. shopping with the wife, at her families house etc..
angry birds is hardly even good............
cant compete with dedicated handheld or console games
angry birds is this decades tetris and the game is amazing for the reasons stated, simple, quick, fun gameplay but no these bitesized games will never replace the hunger for the real games.
The only reason people think Angry Birds is amazing is because for most of these smartphone gamers, it's one of the first games they've played. They don't own consoles.
It's like the first time any of us played Super Mario Bros.
I just hope that gaming companies don't see this as the kind of games people want. People spend their 99 cents and play it to kill 5 minutes in the bathroom or at the movies. We don't PLAY these games, they just kill our time.
