New documents released by Edward Snowden show that mobile apps, including mobile games are being used by the NSA and its British counterpart GCHQ to collect information about their users. Some of the apps identified include Angry Birds, Google Maps, and any app that collects information. So, all of them.
Information collected includes personal data on location, email address, user names and passwords, political affiliation, and even sexual orientation. The makers of these apps aren’t working directly with the government spy agencies though. Instead they’re taking advantage of the third party exchange that takes place when an app is given permission to collect information. This information is exchanged between apps and often sold to third parties for advertising. It is in this exchange that the NSA and GCHQ are able to gather data.
New Zealand's PikPok has released their relaxing new cat adoption simulator for both Android and iOS.
Level Infinite has announced strategy game Command & Conquer: Legions for iOS and Android via a licensing agreement with intellectual property owner Electronic Arts.
More mobile games. Can't believe the last command and conquer game was Tiberian Twilight not only was it a awful game. It was 13 years ago.
EA have been trying to shoehorn C&C into a live service/ mobile game since 2009 it's not happening now give us another generals
Disgusting that this IP has outside of the excellent C&C Remastered been regulated to awful mobile games.
Command and Conquer should have had a passionate team assigned and come roaring back years ago.
If we needed further evidence that EA is dumb as hell with their IP, behold their latest blunder
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:

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
