What Killed the Angry Birds Franchise?

Angry Birds used to be one of my favorite games growing up. But over the years I've found myself drifting further and further away from it. In this video, I'll be looking into the story of Rovio and the Angry Birds franchise, in an attempt to figured out what series of decisions led to the outcome we know of today. cough cough deleting old games cough cough

What killed the angry birds franchise was Rovio completely changing what Angry Birds was. 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. Once the angry birds movie came out, all the games made were either candy crush ripoffs or baby looking versions of the original game

Can't believe you didn't even mention the over-marketization of the games killing off popularity. Plants vs Zombies had the same problem. Each release of these games would add another button to the home screen linking to advertisements for their other games, or to the in-game store. It got so bad it was honestly difficult to figure out how to start playing the game. This is the sole reason that most people I know stopped playing the original games.

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.

[@cabezadepija7318]

crush the castle was 10x better than angry birds, just not as sellable as angry birds because it has realistic world models and characters and was not cartoonish and sfw, like, for kids and younger teenagers which always makes more money nowadays... not to mention the fact that it was originally a flash game on a format from the old days which doesn't translate well to mobile devices and their small screens and its aging fanbase (and that was years ago; now flash game fans are in their mid to late 20s and 30s...)

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.

Angry birds has always been an important series to my childhood. My mom actually used to work in the same building as the Rovio HQ we even held my little sisters Birthday party at the Venue the building had. The HQ building had this Huge Gift Shop. and i remember getting this Huge encyclopedia book of what (at the time) was the entire series. and just a Plushie of chuck. The book is currently on my shelf. and the Chuck plush is currently serving as my 2 year old little sisters Favorite Pillow.

Another thing i noticed is they kept the games unlisted on android due to android devices having way better compatibility, while iOS had them completely unavailable outside of Zimbabwe due to iOS not supporting many older versions of apps.

[@yeeternoob2010]

I wonder: "What would Rovio look like now in an alternate universe where there 2015 games (Go and Epic) got almost a big as a success as the OG Angry birds" or "What if Rovio just made a new game with a new IP that got very popular and the game was actually good" But unless we have the technology to warp to other timelines, the world may never know

[@MysteryMusic512]

Angry Birds Star Wars was the backbone of childhood video games for me. Luckily, I can still redownload both 1 and 2 since the App Store has a page for previously downloaded games. Oh and don’t get me started on the masterpiece that is Angry Birds Epic. I remember my naive kiddo self trying to convince Rovio that ABSW 3 was a great idea and that they should make BB-Egg or some crap like that. It hurts to see my childhood crash and burn bro.

I thought this video was most excellent! I remember downloading ALL the Angry Bird games on my Mom's phone during this time period. I wish Rovio would put those games like Star Wars, Space, Rio, etc back on the Play Store. I don't think license is the issue, as you said they are don't want to maintain old games anymore which is quite sad. But I thought this video essay was most informative! Great work!

One thing I think got left out: Angry Birds Fight, which was a partnership between Rovio and Kiteretsu. It was a competitive match 3 puzzle RPG launched in 2015, but ended service in 2017. It had a similar theme to Angry Birds Epic. It was honestly a pretty good spinoff despite it being an always-online game.

[@QingChina1]

It was one of my favourite Angry Birds games

[@hkleo8314]

They also left out Angry Birds Transformers. Which is honestly a great game also.

[@jkliao6486]

There's also AB Stella that got forgotten because it's a 32-bit game that was axed when ios 11 rolled out. I think it was the first game to introduce Stella and her friends on the island even before the Stella cartoons. I'm still in regret that I never used 200 in-game coins to activate Gale for once when the game was still available.

[@ebibubblesart5843]

Some other AB games from my childhood (unmentioned in the video): -Angry birds stella (was very sad how they just sort of buried the game after a couple updates... also, they should bring back her friends in the new games) -Angry birds fight (although it was a blatant candy crush knockoff, I still liked how it combined the worlds of epic and the other match-3 one, but with more customization options) -Angry birds transformers (still available in the app store, and very fun!)
