Guess I'll just go back and play Sketch W Friends......JB!!!03-22-12 04:56 PMLike 0 - One last thing I will rant and I am done posting on my thread......why is it that they answer (AngryBirds) other peoples questions but never other people (playbook owners). Everytime I scroll down and browse their twitter account they always seem to answer all WP owners questions. I sent them 3 tweets regarding our tablet but no luck. ROVIO U SUCK!!!03-22-12 05:18 PMLike 0

Not that I care. Never have played Angry Brids and probably won't for quite a while.03-22-12 11:18 PMLike 0 -
- The birds are so angry, you must help them get their revenge. Now they have taken their anger into space, they really need to get some anger management counseling.
Saw an article about plans to build Angry Birds amusement parks in Europe.
Has anyone actually seen a pig steal a birds egg? Perhaps the pigs have been framed!03-23-12 02:05 AMLike 0 - There are "tiers" for an app comsumer base? Where do they teach that crap? From a pure business perspective, you hit teir ALL. You don't alienate parts of your customer base for trivial reasons. It isn't like there are only 3 people in the world with a Playbook. There are more than enough to make a healthy contribution to the bottom line.

So you have two platforms, each with the potential to make you (e.g.) $1million in a day, so $2million together. You employ two devs at $50k for the project. DevCost=$100,000, revenue = $2million, profit = $1,900,000
alternatively... So you have two platforms, one with the the potential to make you (e.g.) $1million in a day, the other to make you $20k in that same day. You employ two devs at $50k for the project. DevCost still = $100,000, revenue now = $1,020,000, profit = $920,000

This isn't taught, it's common business sense. This is why some companies succeed and other fail. Let's also not forget that this is true in the real world - Napolean didn't succeed as he was trying to fight a battle on two fronts. Ever tried the same at Risk? Also, doesn't work.Alex_Hong likes this.03-23-12 03:46 AMLike 1 - Ok, ok I know I promised that I was done with this thread bcoz I never got a reply from my tweets and email sent to Rovie. Well guess what I just checked my email and this is what they said......
Angry Birds Team, Mar 22 15:33 (EET):
Hello,
and thanks for contacting us.
Unfortunately it is impossible for us to release the games to all the platforms and devices at the exact same time. We simply don't have enough resources for that. Rest assured we are working day and night to get the game to all relevant devices out there as soon as humanly possible.
Kind regards,
Jenni
Angry Birds Team
It was nice that they replied but I think it's a LAME excuse....just saying!!!Sith_Apprentice likes this.03-23-12 04:00 AMLike 1 - The birds are so angry, you must help them get their revenge. Now they have taken their anger into space, they really need to get some anger management counseling.

- Someone should bring up the fact that rovio is price gouging us as all the other platforms receive the same game, including nokia for free-$2.99. Blackberry 4.99 lol... i guess when we are soo desperate for lame games then we are inelastic to their prices. I say, this next angry birds game release, hold off until they bring down their prices from space to a fair value! Show them we are elastic to that kind of pricing and don't feel like paying that much.
If we don't start somewhere, this is going to be the price accepted from now on for all new apps, $4.99 and above yikes!
All 3 games are available on iTunes for $2.97
All 3 games are available on AppWorld for $14.97
1 available on Nokia Store for $1.99
1 available on windows market place for $2.99
Don't worry, i love content coming to my playbook and blackberry as much as possible. Oh and i got my flame suit onLast edited by Xavior; 03-23-12 at 09:58 AM.

- Price differences could be the simple fact that RIM takes more of a cut than the others. Also, I'm pretty sure they get a discount after x amount of copies have sold so because pretty much every ios device out there has downloaded AB, that is why it is cheaper on that platform. (Economies of scale)03-23-12 09:58 AMLike 0

So we are all waiting for Roxio to convert the app so we can BUY the app on AppWorld.jpgrove likes this.03-23-12 12:54 PMLike 1 - ^^^ According to the latest WinInfo update you are wrong....
"There's been a lot of angst in the Windows Phone world because Rovio is snubbing our favorite platform with this title: The company says it has "no plans" to deliver Angry Birds Space on Windows Phone because of its tiny market share and the difficulty of having to totally rewrite each game to work on the platform."
Let them charge what the feel is right for whatever platform the want to release on. You make they choice to buy it or not without a sling shot pointed to your head! ;-)Last edited by FreeJACLive; 03-23-12 at 01:20 PM.

'Angry Birds Space' coming to Windows Phone after all, says Rovio CEO
Rovio's CEO Mikael Hed claims that Angry Birds Space is in fact being released on Windows Phone, contradicting an earlier report in which CMO Peter Vesterbacka said the company wasn't planning to bring the latest installment in the popular franchise to Microsoft's mobile OS. In a short statement to Reuters, Hed said "we are working towards getting Angry Birds Space to WP7." It's rather surprising to see two high-level executives give completely different statements about the company's premier game, but for the time being we're going to take the CEO at his word. We've reached out to Vesterbacka to see if he can clarify his earlier comments.03-23-12 09:35 PMLike 0 - Someone should bring up the fact that rovio is price gouging us as all the other platforms receive the same game, including nokia for free-$2.99.
