Today's PSN update brought Angry Birds back to the PlayStation Store. Users who bought the old version will have to rebuy, and features in write up simply do not exist in the minis version.
The attached video shows the newer version first, then the older one.
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.
*shrugs* I got mine free via PS Plus, and I have it on my phone (Android). I don't need more.
I still don't understand the fascination with this game. Also, that is BS that you have to re-buy it. I'm sure a lot of people won't.
Angry Birds was fun for like 2 minutes on my iPhone than I stopped playing it. There is no way in hell I will ever play Angry Birds on my PS3 when there are so many great games on it. I rather play ANY PS1 game on my PS3 than Angry Birds.
I bought it before so my sister could have some fun, which did not. I don't know if this version is 'fixed' but the old was almost impossible to play. VERY BUGGY. I have played on android and I don't think you can have the same good experience without a touch screen (or mouse maybe, didn't tested on pc).
But, even if it was fixed I just don't like being a beta tester who pays and doesn't even get the new version. This should be the worst commercial strategy I ever seen on psn. I hope they get the failure they deserve.
I can only suggest to people: don't buy it because it's nothing like the fun experience you have on iphone or android.
Fuck Chillingo and fuck Rovio for doing this but mostly fuck Sony for allowing it.
