An interesting bubble, this Angry Birds phenomenon. And people seem to be starved to buy things, all the time.

- mechanical_fish 16y agoThe secret is the pricing. Back in the old days I spent more money in the first hour of my Magic: The Gathering habit than my wife and I have spent on Angry Birds. Of course, MtG required printing and shipping physical cards.

- lenley 16y agoIt's a great model the game play itself was already a well-proven concept. http://armorgames.com/play/3614/crush-the-castle http://armorgames.com/play/3614/crush-the-castle There are dozens of these extremely popular flash trebuchet games. I think Angry Birds nailed the promotional loop part -- the game play itself is really similar to existing popular games.
