Wild. I remember Angry Birds was everywhere, almost Pokemon-levels of public appeal and generating wheelbarrows of money.

I wouldn’t want to be your friend around dinner time.
They went from '1 dollar to get the full game', with starwars deals and so on to 'generic p2w for whales'. The innovation wasn't here anymore and they shot themselves in the foot with dumb pricing/gameplay.
It's still popular with some young kids, my son still plays the series and loves the movies. You just don't see everyone and their grandma playing it anymore.
