  What a nostalgia hit. Back when app games were simple yet fun, and didn’t spam you with an ad every 15 seconds

  "We're gonna delete all the games we've made that people like from the App Store so people like us more" is certainly a take

  Rovio acted like its name, a bonfire. It started as bright and noisy, but turned into ashes eventually.

  The Bad Piggies &quot;flying machines&quot; game was the best. Building the right machine for each level was fun as hell.

  2009 app store was peak. Now it&apos;s just a nightmare with copy and paste games that advertise other copy and paste games 😢

  It&apos;s kinda depressing seeing such a beautiful game fell off this bad because of the developers greed

  My highest regret is the loss of Star Wars 2. That was my favorite of their games and now I have no way to play it.

  Rovio’s leadership sucks. They had a franchise that could easily compete with Mario from Nintendo or Sega’s Sonic. But they were too impatient, too over eager to expand.<br><br>The original team that made instagram and sold it to Facebook for over 1 billion was like 23 people. A small team of just a few people took Minecraft to a billion dollar franchise. Rovio laid off 114 people and that was only 14% of their workforce? Why did they have so many people working for them?!? Just all around terrible leadership

  This was one of the saddest downfalls in gaming history, I remember when this game came out people was playing this &nbsp; E V E R Y W H E R E , you could be at the park, in a bank, at school, or at the office, and you would hear random bird sounds that where instantly recognizable coming from other peoples phones, then there was plushies, toys, backpacks, mentions in tv shows and movies, just everywhere, and then…. Nothing.<br><br>We loved it, and they made us hate it.

  I still have Angry Birds Epic on a Kindle. It&apos;s clear it&apos;s been abandoned. The arena mode is &quot;under renovations&quot;, the duration of which is a looping 99:99:99 hour timer. You can play the NPC&apos;s and the actual storyline, but forget anything else. Such a shame.
