Rovio Gives Fans the Cold Shoulder

This week in business, we examine Rovio's unexpected move to delist its classic Angry Birds game, a pay-once remake that was well-received by fans. The company had initially acknowledged the demand for a premium version of the game but has now decided to focus on its free-to-play offerings. This decision raises questions about the viability of the premium mobile market and the impact of Rovio's business strategy on its dedicated fan base. With the company currently in talks to sell, it is unclear what the future holds for Rovio and its beloved Angry Birds franchise.
