Angry Birds Dev Needs Big Success From Bad Piggies

[AzrealMaximillion]

Can't a game developer ever be happy with just making a good game, that people like, that gives them the money to make their next game, with a bit of profit on the side?

Not these guys.
Not when you choose to milk the game you make this hard. This game has copypasta spin-offs out the ass and more toys than Pokemon currently does. Rovio (aka Zynga 2 as I call them) has dug themselves a hole here and the only way out is to keep making games that will sell stuffed animals.

Rovio are no longer serious video game developers. They're competing with Mattel now.


P.S. Thank you for knowing what Fear Effect is!

You got to love how transparent these guys are. At least they openly admit that this is nothing more than corporate ambition. Makes you wonder if this brand had any kind of soul to begin with.

The success of Angry Birds, as opposed to their other games, may be based on it's simplicity. Anyone could pick up & play Angry Birds. I think Bad Piggies might intimidate the casual customer base that Rovio depends on

Eh, makes sense considering the runaway popularity of Angry Birds. I mean, no one wants to be known as a one-hit wonder, right? I know I would not. :\

On the one hand, yes - it would be better to get another hit rather than just being a one-hit wonder.

On the OTHER hand, being a one-hit wonder is better than never having had a hit at all, right?
