It's because of these spin-offs that I find myself, in the year of our Billie Lourd 2023, caring about Angry Birds again.

Not to mention it has multiple spin-offs, tie-ins, and two whole movies (three if you count Rio). It might face challengers like Candy Crush today, Flappy Bird from its sheer meme value, or Snake from Ye Olden Days, but I would argue that in terms of its ubiquity with mobile gaming, Angry Birds has them all beat.

It is the most famous mobile game ever to live. We have a major problem with game preservation in general, and it's worse in mobile, but it's the way in which Angry Birds has been killed off that has managed to make me angry about a mobile game I have not played in half a decade.Angry Birds is a piece of gaming history. I'm sad, but not really, and you get the sense that maybe it was due. It was like when the grandmother of a not so close friend dies. Rovio announced today that the game will be delisted on the Android store on February 23, and will be renamed to 'Red's First Flight' on iOS.
