Nope, it's not OK. You're required to be snarky and dismissive. How can anyone take you seriously if you actually like something?

No thanks. I loved the original, the follow up games like "Space", "Star Wars 1, 2," etc. I PAID for all of them since 2010.

Then Rovio decided to update the apps and include commercials in those paid apps - it would be understandable if those were in the "LITE" versions, but adding these 30 second ads in a game I paid and no way to skip.

Forget it, they won't see a dime from me.
 
I could not care less about mobile gaming... completely agree with the comment that mobile games are fads: many of them are fun to play a few times, but ALL of them, without exception, get old quite fast. And also, one of the biggest reasons I cannot stand touchscreen gaming: my finger BLOCKS the view of what I'm trying to do! this is a fundamental flaw of the touchscreen world... when I'm pointing at something, my finger is blocking the view of that button/text/link/controller... what do you all think about this?

The second reason I simply cannot stand mobile gaming: microtransactions. I'm honestly SO sick of this that I simply do not even try new games at all. Charge $1 or $2, $5 or $10 even, but give me ALL functionality and stop bugging me about buying extra things!!!!!! Agh I get irritated even thinking about this.
 
I actually did download the AB 2 game - it was free so why not, I'll try it out as a time killer.

BUT..deleted it an hour later. That game is heavy on graphics unlike the first apps and my iPhone 6+ was getting very warm. Total battery sucker too! Forget it.
 
Never heard of angry Birds for a long time. So glad they could release a new one.
