According to the recent statement made by an executive of Rovio , the developers of popular game “Angry Birds” , said that the the is worth several billion dollars, claimed by Finnish magazine Kauppalehti Optio.
The Japan-based entertainment conglomerate is expected to pay about $1 billion for Rovio Entertainment.
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.
Well angry birds still makes money so it’s not a dead horse. They just need another hit.
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.
I didn't know they did a bunch of stuff prior to Angry Birds:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wi...
Pretty much everything since has been a spin off. Now maybe Sega will make Angry Chaos or something similar.
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
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?
People like the simplicity of paying once for a product and never having to give any more, or worry about the intrusion of ads, mtx, subscriptions. Who would've thought? lol.
I imagine that renaming it would make people think it's a knckoff and push them towards their other games. On Android most likely people will just download an APK.
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.
Imagine every gaming company act like Rovio, when their game sold millions....the gaming industry would be full of douchebags.
How long rovio going to keep throwing this crap in our faces, we know angry been download and made millions
Good for them. What relevance does this have to us gamers?
They'll make millions as long as they can ride angry birds, however, that horse is already getting tired.
They need to use their new money then and make a AAA title.
I was planning to buy this game on PSN for my PSP, since not many of the Minis are very good
