Saw a friend of mine the other say, he had a angry birds teeshirt on. He has never played it ever in his life nor even knew it was a game, just liked the teeshirt. I showed him the game, involving the killing of birds and pigs and he was not phased in any way but still likes his teeshirt.

Apart from that any old death of Tetris type article were you change the title to angry birds will be relevant in such matters of simple fun games and there lifespan.



If you account for merchandising, I wonder if Angry Birds is beating the top free to play app?


I'm sure it is, there's so much Angry Bird stuff around now

Just today:

Passed by a Samsung Promotion, play angry bird games on SmartTV, win Angry Bird merchandise

The cable car in Singapore has "Angry Bird" promotion cars with Angry Bird Decorations; has whole shop dedicated to Angry Birds Merchandise

Local supermarket, spend $$$, collect stickers, redeem Angry Birds


More than likely and does somewhat indicate a new mentality eventualy towards some games which are used in effect as marketing material to help promote and sell the mechandising aspects.
