Good podcast. Was listening to this while at work. The stuff about EA banning the player and preventing him from playing DragonAge 2 is some real important stuff. Let's just hope something like that doesn't happen again.

I have to question that also, I just ordered 3 games off Amazon.

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.

Lifexline376d ago

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

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

Lifexline376d ago

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

porkChop375d ago

Angry Taxi might actually work.

blackblades376d ago (Edited 376d ago )

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.

darthv72376d ago

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.

FallenAngel1984376d 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

MadLad376d ago

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