King Kenny (AndroidGamesReview) writes: Ads make the game unplayable: Of course, you could just buy the full version and you’re sorted. However, any free version of a game, even if it is limited, should be playable. Angry Birds Space Free has levels where you simply cannot complete the stage if there is an ad displaying in the top-right, as you need to interact with that area of the screen. The placing of the sling is also questionable – it needs to be further right, so that there is enough space to pull a bird back...
SEGA plans to buy Angry Birds mobile game developer Rovio in a sweeping deal for $771 million because of a number of reasons. Here are a few of them.
I never played Angry Birds, never seen it live, and i'm proud. I won't eat the cereal. Birds with eyebrows i can do without.
Not into mobile. Idgaf. Flex...ok. Angry Birds looks dumb af. Not for me. Not into the acquisition or AB craze. Sorry if it offends you. If Sega wanted in on mobile i can think of 800m better spent.
Angry Bird sympathizers. I won't even eat the AB gummies. I stay flexing.
Also, my first post wasn't meant as a flex, i was goofing about. AB does look dumb but idc. Man, Angry Army of bird lovin folk. I apologize. Eyebrows on birds are ok.
Sega has wanted to make it big in the mobile space for the past decade anyone remember that nightmare called sonic 4
One of the unfortunate parts of my Steam library after I bought one of the Sonic Humble Bundles years ago
SEGA has just acquired Angry Birds studio Rovio Entertainment for $775 million, and looks to use the studio's expertise in mobile gaming.
wow 775 million I thought Rovio was going serious downhill. As I saw multiple youtube videos on it. Rovio was supposed to be a juggernaut gaming company but management they went in all direction based only on 1 IP.

I feel like that was kind of what Shadow the Hedgehog was.
Plenty of edge and seething, and if you played it traditionally (without weapons), Shadow throws himself at enemies.
... Similar enough
Oh god, a mobile game about Angry Sonic, I suppose we already have Ugly Sonic, why not?
Sega upping their own value if anyone wants to acquire them! Not just getting console expertise but mobile now as well.
I doubt being acquired is in their plans. I used to think sega was in the dumps like capcom was in 2012-2014 but they own so many arcades, pachinko machines, and they publish western games in japan. They were able to buy out atlus and now this company, i think they in a position to not be touched.
Nice everything in finland is for sale. We even sold nokia and our own electricity network so global corporations can charge us from something that is made with taxpayer money.
They were too busy buying the company that wasn't tanking. You know the top-rated ones.
Good for Sega, maybe they can right the ship.
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
Good thing I bought the ad-free version. 99 cents is really too much for some people?
The Ad placement is horrendous & sometimes even obstructs your objective......but with that said Angry Birds Space feels like a true sequel to Angry Birds.
It brings that addictive nature of the game back while feeling fresh and new, im not a big fan of phone/tablet games but this new one is pretty good
Now if they can get it on the PSV, id love to play it on that OLED screen
