Are you serious? That has got to be the most ignorant comment about devs I've read, and that's saying something around here. Do you think they just pocket all that money they make? They have development costs, bills, etc to pay. Supporting devs ENSURES they can make updates and not go bankrupt because people are too damn cheap to pay a buck or two.[/QUOTE] Ru saying that the number one selling dev of all time doesnt make enough money to support itself?

Well I don't have the convenience of an iPhone 4 so I don't have multitasking so it takes slot longer to switch. I know it sounds stupid but it would be alot more convenient if it was all in one app

And I'm not asking for a console type game. All I'm asking is for a change in gameplay. That does make it a console type game, alot of games on the idevice have multiplayer.

You can disagree but no need to flame on me.

VeganTnT Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Patreon Gold Patreon Bronze Jul 19, 2008 4,490 3 0 Freelance Entertainment Analyst Orlando, FL #68 VeganTnT, Oct 21, 2010 Chillingo is a publisher, a publisher gives developers money so that those devs can complete a game without worrying about the money drying up in the middle of development. In return the publisher (Chillingo) gets a share in the profits from game sales. Once a developer has made a name for themselves they don't need a publisher anymore because they can now take on the financial responsibilities themselves. It has nothing to do with EA. As a matter of fact any dev that is being published can benefit GREATLY from this deal because EA can pitch in some of their assets to help developers. Leaving behind an app that sits comfortably in the Top 5 spots in the appstore since... well since release, would be a huge mistake on Rovio's part. The best idea is to have us purchase Rovio published "level packs" like this halloween one. Load up the regular Angry Birds app and the the new levels unlock there. The devs get the benefit of added cash and we get what we want. If they don't do it... just complain. If enough people demand it they will take the time to implement it ScottColbert Well-Known Member Sep 13, 2009 1,062 1 36 Phoenix, AZ http://www.scottcolbert.com #69 ScottColbert, Oct 21, 2010 Last edited: Oct 21, 2010 Ru saying that the number one selling dev of all time doesnt make enough money to support itself?

New England Gamer Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Patreon Gold Patreon Bronze Jul 30, 2009 6,143 1 0 #72 New England Gamer, Oct 21, 2010 Pretty much sums it up - if its not broke don't fix it. If its bland to you, go to another game and don't expect the others to feel the same way if they LIKE the game as is. But on a separate note - had they done DLC instead would that not have counted towards the sale of the original app and not split their customers at this point? Or does DLC not count towards rankings? dbhjed Well-Known Member Mar 27, 2009 413 0 0 #73 dbhjed, Oct 21, 2010 I think they want to split from Chillingo.

Osujxu Well-Known Member Apr 11, 2010 2,414 0 0 #75 Osujxu, Oct 21, 2010 this has nothing to do with taking a class in economics. i think it's pretty laughable myself when you say that angry birds does not make enough money to sustain itself. even if they lost some of it to chillingo and apple, there still guareenteed well of finacially. why would they resort back to the old levels but update in the hallowean app. not alot of people are going to be buying the hallowean version after hallowean compared to the original. and why fix what isn't broken? i'm not telling anyone to fix anything. were fruit ninja and doodle jump broken when they got multiplayer? i like the game the way it is too, however i feel as though it can be improved. lord-sam Well-Known Member Feb 25, 2009 2,482 0 0 United Kingdom #76 lord-sam, Oct 21, 2010 Rovio told me this wasn't DLC because they were nearing their 20MB limit. doodlejumper Well-Known Member Jan 27, 2010 2,881 2 0 Stuck in traffic #77 doodlejumper, Oct 21, 2010 I knew it'd happen: Angry Birds Halloween has hit #1 in the US store on it's FIRST day. arta Well-Known Member Feb 14, 2009 6,902 1 36 #78 arta, Oct 21, 2010 They lied.
