[QUOTE=Ezhik;40159805]i don't like angry birds, how dare other people like games that i don't like??!?!?[/QUOTE] No one here has said that yet. But I don't understand, how did it get so big? It's fun... but that's it, it isn't like some groundbreaking game or anything, it's a fucking iOS game, how has it turned into this monster?

I'd put it up next to target marketing, same type that like farmville and other facebook-esque games. Hell, I think the concept came from older games, but they managed to make it more profitable by being one of more 'first' games on the smartphones, when everyone had easy access to them, and again, colors and cute animals/cartoon characters. Now its merely being milked for all its worth because people buy the name, not the game.
