Chris Buffa (Modojo): One could make the argument that Angry Birds has never been more popular. If anything, creator Rovio Entertainment has never been busier. In 2012 alone, we saw new updates for the content-rich effort, Angry Birds Seasons, the launch of critically acclaimed Angry Birds Space and spin-off, Bad Piggies. Meanwhile, the tie-in of tie-ins, Angry Birds Star Wars, has occupied the number one paid iPhone/iPad game slot since it debuted in early November.
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.
