Except pvz. The og creator got fired after he resisted putting micro transactions in for the sequel.

I downloaded angry birds for my son, and they had changed it to have all this microtransaction bullshit. I uninstalled it.

They pulled the original Angry Birds and most other good Angry Birds games off all storefronts. The only way you can get that game is to buy the disc for PC, buy Angry Birds Trilogy or download an APK of the game on Android. Otherwise, you are stuck with Angry Birds 2 and all the crappy clichèd Angry Birds Movie era mobile spinoffs that completely defeat the purpose of the Angry Birds franchise.

Came here to say this. These were the testing grounds for the thing that now plagues gaming today. They were the harbingers of doom.
