That can be unfortunately said about all old Japanese developers.

So very true.

What cracks me up is how pride comes before a fall. I remember when the Rovio CEO was saying "we don't like it when people call us a video games company; we don't make video games, we're in the entertainment industry"I love it when I see developers who are weirdly embarrassed that they make videogames.

Reminds me of Lorne Lanning's announcement, some 20 odd years ago, that he wasn't aiming for Abe to be a famous videogame character, but an entertainment icon. 'Think Yoda', he said. Lol

Rovio recently were in financial trouble as a company as it hasn't been able to better the first game they brought out, it got so bad for them that they delisted the first Angry Birds game as it was their biggest competition to newer games and its cheap 99p price point with no adds or micro transactions made it a one and done sale.

The only new thing Rovio seems to be able to do is angry birds but with loads of micro transactions, or mediocre and over complicated games using characters from the angry birds games that don't have the same simple appeal of fling this as that until you win.

The whole thing stinks of a stock manipulation scam before Rovio inevitably go belly up.

What an absolute bloody waste of talent, Sony need picking all these devs up like they should of done in the first place.

Why? Most of those games are crap.

Why? Most of those games are crap.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. They were all bad[/ARNIE]

Why? Most of those games are crap.

True but these games are all on Nintendo platforms so nostalgic Americans will lap it up.
