    let's remind ourselves that in the first Angry Birds movie, there was a copyright-free version of Never gonna give you up, meaning that anyone who watched the movie has been rickrolled.

    No matter how Angry Birds has gone downhill, I will always remember the times between 2009 and 2016 (that was the year when Seasons ended) as being one of the most popular games on mobile and computer.☺️

    As someone who never really played Angry Birds, but played TONS of Crush the Castle 2, I have to say that you've undersold the series. Crush the Castle 2, though utilizing the same engine as the first game, has 16 different projectiles.
    And though many people weren't too bothered about the similarities between Crush the Castle and Angry Birds, the developers of Crush the Castle were. The Crush the Castle 2 Players Pack contains the "Irritated Fowl", a chicken with a redraw of Red's face that you only get once beating the game, where the Redvonian king refers to them as a plague and asks you to be rid of them. The chickens are the worst weapon in the game.

    Edit: hello everyone, yiu saw my comment on angry birds epic and how its new community should be talked about. Well I edited the comment to tell everyone how to download Epic and apparently youtube just deleted my comment. I think because I used the word "wire us" which I was talking about an apk scanning website called "WireusTotal"
    I so hate youtube....
    I will paste my other comment way below down.
    Angry Birds Epic was genuinely the best angry birds game ever. I'm sad it's discontinued, it was such a masterpiece.
    And wanna know why Rovio removed the arena, events and replaced the daily calender with just snoutlings in Angry Birds Epic? They admitted that apparently, if you had all the class upgrades, and opened a class upgrade chest, the game would give this black screen which softlocks you. Now the thing is this problem was there since 2020. So the thing is, they had 2 YEARS to fix this and yet, someone fixed this in less than a week using the help of game guardian. I don't know much about coding, but I do know it shouldn't take 2 years to fix a simple bug. Rovio could've replaced the class upgrade chest with some other chest instead, it shouldn't take that much time
    Speaking of Angry Birds Epic, the ABE community has really grown. From beating the game with no hacks in its current state without soending a single penny, to finding game breaking and benefiting glitches, and having events and arena back, including playing as the pigs. The community has ironically grown more after Epic's discontinuation. I would really love to see you talk about it now, you can ask me for all the things this community has accomplished so far.

    What makes me excited for angry birds now is that they are starting to bring back the old games. Just letting you all know that the classic game that started it all is back on the app store but it costs 99 cents! It's worth it though, because there are no ads, no in app purchases, and everything has stayed the same. They are planning to add even more, I think starting with angry birds space.

In the “golden age” angry birds, yes, there were some changes to the formula like angry birds epic and transformers, but they still felt and played very much still like angry birds.

There were barely any ads and they were NOT intrusive or distracting, and the game was genuinely fun and exciting. Then mobile gaming degenerated into barely playable pieces of garbage that spammed ads all the time and crammed them everywhere. Rovio probaly saw how successful and profitable that strategy was and now here we are.

What killed it for me, in the end, was that at some point you just couldn't play the original game as it originally was. The games were "modernized" with micro transactions and a copious amount of ads that would put even modern day UA-cam to shame. At that point they were basically unplayable, and after a brief period of trying to work through the frustration and just play them as they were, I stopped caring and moved on.

    Angry Birds Star Wars was me and my brother's favorite game because we used to be big star wars fans. I spend a lot of fond times with him wasting hours just on Angry Birds Star Wars, Go, and Bad Piggies. I wish that when they re-release Star Wars, they add the old ones back and god forbid they only bring back the sequels.

    Rovio killed the franchise, as far as I know too little people were actually playing the new games, so instead of making the newer games more interesting, they decided to delete the old games

    That angry birds puzzle shooter used to be focused on the Stella characters before the rest of the angry birds cast was added. Oh, there was also a spin off with Stella as the protagonist with a new group of birds and another bird as the antagonist that came before it.

    A huge factor in Angry Birds' decline that I'm surprised this video didn't mention was Rovio's increasingly annoying and downright greedy monetization scheme.
    When Angry Birds was first released, it had no monetization outside of the initial price of the game and even then, it was free on Android. And this followed for the first few games in the series. It was extremely fun and refreshing to get whole games with hundreds of levels with no annoying microtransaction. For those reasons, Angry Birds stand out against its mobile game contemporaries. Angry Birds did have some pop up ads but they were never intrusive, they would just occasionally show up in the corner of the screen and never obscured interrupted gameplay.
    But then, bit by bit, Rovio began introducing more and more microtransactions into the game. It started with the Mighty Eagle ability which was harmless but it ballooned into other special abilities and constant pop-up prompts to use those abilities. You want from being able to endlessly restart a level you were having trouble with to being interrupted by these prompts encouraging you to use power-ups you have to pay for. It sounds like a small thing, but having these pop-up constantly interrupt your gameplay made Angry Birds much less enjoyable than it used to be.
    And as Angry Birds branched out into different spinoffs, they increasingly introduced even more microstransactions. Take Angry Birds Star Wars which was a good game but one that constantly incentivized you to spend real money to buy better birds beat the levels. Rovio even released physical toys that had QR codes which could be used in the game in a toys-to-life system similar to Skylanders. I never played it, but I believe Rovio had similar monetization methods in their Transformers and and racing spin-offs.
    And then we have Angry Birds Epic which is a phenomenal game, it really is amazing. But it also introduced an in-game currency and loot box system which *heavily* incentivized you to pay real money to buy more loot boxes so you could get better gear. It was exhausting to play without spending any money because you had to grind so hard to get look boxes without spending real money and even then, odds were slim that you'd get anything really useful in those loot boxes. It was also exhausting to resist the temptation to spend real money, and game developers know this, that's they they are constantly tantalizing you with epic gear that is only a 5 dollar purchase away.
    And then we have the breaking point: Angry Birds 2. Angry Birds 2 amped up monetization to the max by introducing a life system as well have having numerous pop-ups. I didn't even bother trying to play Angry Birds 2 since I knew I would have no fun and I could see that a great game franchise had been ruined by greed.
    I'm sure that all these increasingly blatant monetization schemes turned off a lot of fans as the series continued. It because more and more frustrating to play these game and the constant barrage of purchasable power-ups sucked all the fun out of the game. We all have different tolerance levels for how much nonsense we are willing to put up with in our game and as Rovio added more and more monetization schemes, they turned off more and more people from Angry Birds as that tolerate threshold was passed.
    I'm sure that many of things you mentioned above contributed to Angry Birds' decline. The new spin-off games, removing the games from the App Store, more competition, even just people moving one. But I promise you, the absurd monetization Rovio foolishly implemented was certainly a contributing factor as well. We went from a game with no in-game purchases and microscopic ads to a game hounded by game interrupting pop-ups, unwanted microtransactions, loot boxes, and a life system. They took a solid franchise and ruined it with their greed. And suffice to say, players like me were not having it which is why we stopped playing.

    What I didn’t like, even before the Angry Birds Movie was that Angry Birds 2 had a life system. If you failed at a level 5 times in one day, then you game overed, and couldn’t get those lives back until the next day, unless you had the money to cheat your way through with more lives.
    That kind of defeated the purpose of the simpler, trial and error gameplay of Angry Birds. If you suck so much at a level that you die lose times on it, then the only option (without draining your wallet) is to just wait until the next day. That’s just really unfair game design, and it really makes you lose your motivation to play.
    I can’t be the only person who feels this way.

    Rovio removing all of those games was not the play in my opinion. I like Angry Birds 2 and Bad Piggies fine, but I really miss the older ones. Anyway, amazing job T3rr0r!

    Angry birds was one of my nannas favourite mobile games and I’d see her play the games all the time. Unfortunately she now suffers from dementia, but it’s always nice to be reminded of the things she liked, and that I always saw her playing on her iPad with the sky blue coloured case
