Oh yeah! I'm so going to get that!
Said nobody ever.

"Oh yeah! I'm so going to get that!
Said nobody ever."

I don't know if the blind hate is directed towards Microsoft or Angry Birds, but you DO realize that it's going to get millions of downloads, right?

Not saying I'm a fan, just saying that because we don't like something doesn't mean it's going to fail.

a_bro4001d ago

i think he's directing that hate towards the game itself, not microsoft.

it has to do with the game's casual focus, and how investors are stating that games like these are the future, even though they suck.

Sega Nears Deal For ‘Angry Birds’ Mobile Game Maker

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.

Vengeance1138370d ago

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.

Lifexline370d ago

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

darthv72370d ago

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

Lifexline370d ago

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

porkChop370d ago

Angry Taxi might actually work.

blackblades370d ago (Edited 370d ago )

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

-Foxtrot369d ago

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

Snookies12370d ago

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

darthv72370d ago

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.

FallenAngel1984370d 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

MadLad370d ago

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

Angry Birds Popularity Means its Culling on Android

Rovio has released a statment saying that Angry Birds popularity means its culling on Android after Thursday 23rd Feb 2023.

IanTH421d ago (Edited 421d ago )

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?

Inverno421d ago

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.

XxINFERNUSxX421d ago

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 🤣

DarkkMinion420d ago

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.
