#2Well... no surprise. It's the classic version, and you can buy it for $0.99 and have all the content, all the powerups, and none of the ads. Too good a deal for 2023.

#3This explains the current unemployment rate in the US.
When given the choice between working several hours at a job you don't like to pay for entertainment verses using a free option for entertainment that is just as good if not better, many people are choosing the former.

#4Surely this is a marketing stunt and it will be back to normal in 3 days with an oopsie apology.

Did you just extrapolate a low unemployment rate from the actions of a developer of a old free mobile game?

#8The "New" angry birds are barely playable and even the "Angry Birds Classic" seem to be much worse than the ones I had on my N900 a decade ago.
But the new ones are just a piece of crap where the actual gameplay occupies the 5% of overall UI and the level design is boring as hell (levels look like somebody vomited them on the screen). It is basically how they put their child on altar and sacrificed it to Mammon.
I wanted my small children to get the Angry Birds experience but my youth memories were violated.

#9It's almost as if when given the choice people prefer games without microtransactions, even if they're older and have fewer features/powerups etc.

If a gas station finds they can't sell gas at $2 per gallon, they could rip out the gas tanks and stop selling gas or they could raise the price to whatever is profitable. I'm not understanding the business logic of removing the game.
