Angry Birds is flinging its way towards Facebook and beyond. Initially investing 100,000 Euros into the game, Angry Birds developer Rovio is now raking in over 50 million Euros with paid game downloads, ads, and toys, according to an article in Wired. The franchise is set to hit Facebook soon, and according to Rovio's Chief Executive Mikael Hed, "There will be completely new aspects to it that just haven't been experienced on any other platform."
The original Angry Birds is also heading for the Wii, Playstation 3, and Xbox 360 consoles. Hed also mentioned that new titles, such as driving and sports games, featuring Angry Birds characters aren't out of the question. Apparently there are also plans for a TV series, a movie, comics, and more.
I'm going to be honest and say I've never spent more than about ten minutes playing Angry Birds. What do you think about this "Disney 2.0" mentality that Rovio has with the iOS developed game?

Angry Birds is available on Intel AppUp on PC if you didn't know already. I have never played the phone versions, but I would assume the mouse controls are superior to touch (many seem to say that anyways).

Alright, so here's the thing. Angry birds was better when it was just the droid and iphone users getting a whack at it. Expanding and blowing it up like this is just going to kill the craze extremely fast. People who liked it before the expansion are going to dislike it because it got so big and people who play it afterwards are going to know so much that its no longer going to be the quirky title that it is. IMO Rovio is signing a death certificate for Angry Birds.

Strike while the irons hot, take all you can, and when people have forgotten about you, count all your money on your yacht.

Angry Birds jumped the shark a long time ago.
