Rovio announces the comeback of removed Angry Birds games

Angry Birds is a long running mobile game franchise developed by Rovio Entertainment and designed by Jaakko Iisalo in 2009, it became a large success in the mobile gaming market, gaining 648 million downloads at the  end of 2011, it then got several sequels and 2 movies and a theme park, but in 2019 things started to go downhill.

Background and the announcement
Back in 2019, during the 10th Anniversary of the Angry Birds franchise, Rovio had previously removed many of the original Angry Birds games from the App Store, with many of them being fan favorites, including Space, and Seasons, Star Wars. They even removed the original Angry Birds game. Rovio had given out the excuse of removing them for "testing purposes." Then, on June 6, 2021, Rovio announced on their official website that they were bringing back the Angry Birds games that they had previously removed from the App Store (with the exception of Star Wars 1 and 2, and Rio, due to licensing issues from Disney), they also stated that they were updating their games to fit newer phones. This made everyone in the Angry Birds fandom happy and glad that the old games were returning to the apple and android store.

Return of the original Angry Birds
On April 1st, 2022, the first of these updated versions released under the title "Rovio Classics: Angry Birds". While this has been praised for confirming that the games are indeed coming back, there are several bugs due to the game being rebuilt entirely in Unity. Some people consider this to be nostalgia pandering. Overall, the game is not perfect, however quite a few people are mostly happy.
