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...)

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.

Fun Fact: Before December 2010 Angry Birds Seasons Was Originally Called Angry Birds Halloween When Rovio Releases Second Angry Birds Game.

[@sirrandolph7857]

I remember Angry Birds being very popular back in the day. It's unfortunate to see the decline of these old games.

[@maharghjoshi228]

Its still is for the fans, people still play the games that were delisted many people never deleted the games and even downloaded them when they first announced they would be removing them, for other lets just say they found some other means to play them 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

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.

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

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.

[@prajawalgurung6121]

Honestly as a child, bad piggies was so cool to 8 year old me. The idea that you play as the villain and have them as the main focus was so cool to me back then.

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.

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

Angry birds Epic: Am I a joke to you?

[@LemurlandballOficial]

Angry Birds Star Wars and Angry Birds Star Wars II:

[@Woopor]

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

[@MrOceMcCool]

Yep. Also the games are just unplayable nowadays. I remember back when Angry Birds was still relatively new. 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.

[@harshbarj]

For me it was the number of ads and the "pay to win" aspect of the later games. The first two games were great with minimal ads and you could not just pay more to win a level.

[@fluffcake]

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.

[@homelessY4m3z]

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!

[@_JustAnotherKid__]

Ah this game, I remember downloading it and scrolling to the far right of the level selection page just to see if there were hidden eggs. That and the little series they had. And lastly, never completing angry birds epic.

[@quantummemechanics]

6:29 I never cared about the movie when it was released since I thought it was just a gimmick brand cash grab, little did I know years later it's the best animated movie ever made.
