Angry Birds
Angry Birds is a video game franchise created by Finnish computer game developer Rovio Entertainment. Inspired primarily by a sketch of stylized wingless birds, the first game was first released for Apple's iOS in December 2009. Over 12 million copies of the game have been purchased from Apple's App Store,which has prompted the company to design versions for other touchscreen-based smartphones, including the Android, Symbian and Windows Phone operating systems. It has since expanded to video game consoles, PCs.
Angry Birds has been praised for its successful combination of
addictive gameplay, comical style, and low price. Its popularity led to
versions of Angry Birds being created for personal computers and gaming consoles,
a market for merchandise featuring its characters, spin-offs and
television series based on the franchise, and even long-term plans for a
feature film. With 2 billion downloads across all platforms and
including both regular and special editions, the franchise has become the highest downloaded freemium game of all time. It has also been called "one of the most mainstream games out right now", "one of the great runaway hits of 2010",and "the largest mobile app success the world has seen so far".
In January 2014, games of the franchise were considered as "leaky" apps, which NSA and GCHQ
uses to collect data from users, especially those who uses Rovio
Accounts to transfer game data. In retaliation, anti-NSA hackers defaced
Rovio's website.
