Rovio Drops 'Angry Birds' for 'Bad Piggies'

[Tinmania]

Who cares. Angry Birds is so 2009

Yea, for the 2 weeks it was out in 2009 (released December). That must be "the" year for it lol.

The companies I dint like are game loft and rovio. They are the biggest culprits in money-grabbing. The beauty of the appstore is that people like andreas illinger can do it themselves and overtake huge corporations, while still having amazing consideration for consumers.

I don't think so...Rovio's updated Angry Birds games adding levels for quite a while...without charging extra. If you're complaining you're getting years worth of entertainment from a $0.99 app you're the exception. They just made a great game and milked it...you jealous?

I bet the release of this game is lined up with the iPhone 5 launch date.

I saw hungry piggies over at the app store a few days ago, and thought to myself "I know those pigs"!!!! But there was no mention of Rovio as the developer in the description so I didn't want to end up purchasing a bad rip off!!

Edit: and apparently I was right it must be a bad rip off-its not angry piggies.

But not people's jobs I guess. So the beauty of the AppStore is that an individual can defeat a large corporation? So, you're happy to give millions to an independent developer but don't want a large corporation to make millions. How many people does the individual employ? Business ARE people. I don't get your bizarre attitude.

I'm happy for them. I've enjoyed Angry Birds off and on for years now. I'll be buying the piggies too.

I get tired of Angry Birds sometimes, and then I come back. Interestingly, by the time I come back, they've added new levels and environments, and I get something different anyhow. I can hardly say they've ripped me off, and I always buy both versions, phone and iPad. Cheapest gameplay I've ever had.

I've gotten hours and hours of gameplay out of Grand Theft Auto IV too, and I paid (gasp) $59 for that when it came out. I don't feel ripped off there either.

I actually feel more cheated when I download a free app. and it winds up being a total turd or waste of my time. The effort involved in scrubbing it from my devices and iTunes library irritates me more than paying a few bucks for an app that has entertained me countless times in countless places.

I guess now is a bad time to admit I got a large Angry Birds plush for my desk at Christmas time last year??

They're just milking the cash cow for all its worth.....

What's your point? Or do you just post trite Occupy Wall Street slogans?

Misleading title - actually just flipping the bird

I think your article title Rovio Drops 'Angry Birds' for 'Bad Piggies' is quite misleading. I see nothing that says they are Dropping the Birds -- just adding Pigs as a new line. Huge difference IMHO!

Why so many ******s here?

I mean, why all the negative comments? Here's an idea: If you don't like it, don't buy it. Really, all the guys sound jealous that they aren't making millions off a simple game. Where's all your ideas, people? I bought the games for .99 cents, and enjoyed them very much. Oh, the humanity! The outrage! Get a life, people.

I loved the angry birds games, but they did need to release something new!

I initially agreed with you here, but I think it might just be referring to the fact that the "Angry Birds" do not appear in this new game at all.
