'Thanks to the ingenuity of the current generation of smart-phones, mobile phone gaming has finally reached the level at which it can hold its own against the other mediums in this highly competitive industry. But is it possible that, thanks to a few unique benefits, mobile phone gaming could actually be on its way towards killing off some of these competitors once and for all?' writes Gareth Cartwright
According to Rovio, the redundancies are due to Angry Birds Dream Blast "not... performing as expected."
Gary Green said: Gamestation was a chain of retail shops in the United Kingdom selling new and used games. Gamestation was founded in 1993 in York, UK, and by 2002, it had 64 stores across the United Kingdom. Gamestation’s primary competitor was GAME, who were generally considered one of the most expensive retailers for games.
Gamestation’s main method of attracting customers was to put on more special offers than its competitor as well as focusing on pre-owned games and larger discounts on older titles. Gamestation would also usually beat GAME’s prices by at least 5%, with new releases at GAME typically charged at £39.99, while Gamestation would set their prices at £37.99 for the same titles.
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
