    Let it die already. There is no need in this world for a theme park based off a flash game.

    I never said it sucked, this just is not nessecary for a flash game on the app store. They could be using that money to help starving people in Africa or help the US economy and the poor in the states.

    actually it wasn't originally a flash game... :p

    But really, don't let EA suck up all companies :p Let Rovio be Finnish :) Not Disney either or we'll see Angry Birds in freakin' Mickey Mouse Club House, Zynga would probably give a chance of AB finally going to FB, can't comment on News Corp :p AB doesn't suck, it's just boring :p

    Interesting strategy Rovio is having. Long after people have grown bored of Angry Birds gameplay(you know it will have to happen within the next several years or so) they will still be obsessing over movies, tshirts and adorable little stuffed animals. An IP that becomes more popular in other mediums than the one it originated in! It would be the Superman and Mickey Mouse of gaming(whens the last time there was a big superman comic or Mickey Mouse animation?) hopefully for Rovio the movie will be a hit and they could follow it up with good new Angry Bird games and new IPs as well. I personally think their value will burst after the angry bird craze dies down, but ill be interested in seeing what happens

    Wow, this franchise is really dominating the market even years after it's release...

    I wonder if Mario Bro's got this much publicity back in the day?!
