Great idea. I really enjoyed Angry Birds when it first came out and when my children asked about to install it on their devices I said this was fine. I couldn't find the original Angry Birds so installed Angry Birds 2. What an awful convoluted mess it was. Instead of a simple, fun physics-based game it's full of lives, spells, bad level design and in-app purchases.

- lostgame 7y agoWhen the recent Sonic the Hedgehog re-release from SEGA did this I just deleted it off my phone. shrugs
- kfarr 7y agoSame! Instant delete. I hope game publishers start to get the message
- StavrosK 7y agoOops, is it any of these? https://nobsgames.stavros.io/ios/?name=sonic https://nobsgames.stavros.io/ios/?name=sonic I was told they only contain DLC.
- lostgame 7y agoThe issue is that there is no offline play until you purchase - furthermore SEGA still advertises their own games if you're connected to the internet. Any app, IMHO, that requires to be connected to the internet to play so it can deliver you ads doesn't belong on this list. Sonic 1, 2 and CD at least behave like this atm.
- StavrosK 7y agoDoes it require you to be connected to the internet? Or does it show you an ad if you are? Also, it shows an ad even if you pay? That doesn't sound great...
- VRay 7y agoI really respect your effort, but something tells me that the list is going to be very short indeed if you don't allow any toxicity at all It looks like you have a "DLC" flag, maybe add "Online Only" to the list as well..
- rchaud 7y agoI was disappointed to find out Pro Evolution Soccer, by far the best and most realistic soccer game on Android, has this always-online requirement as well. Makes the game completely unusable when on the subway.
- SmellyGeekBoy 7y agoI played the original to death "back in the day" so I'm really sad to hear that they went down this route. Probably also explains why nobody talks about Angry Birds anymore.
- jakemal 7y agoThere was an Angry Birds movie released within the last couple of years. It's still extremely popular.
- celticmusic 7y agoit was legitimately a good movie. I would've gone to see the sequel despite never having played any of their games.
- celeritascelery 7y agoMaybe the IP. But not the game.
- redisman 7y agoHow many other video games from 2009 are people talking about today? It's just the nature of the beast.
- sunsetMurk 7y agocounterstrike! ..But it too has now been corrupted by DLC/IAP/etc.
- LutfuRadu 7y agoI beg to differ. I am not aware of any DLCs. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is free to play. There are cosmetics like gun skins you can purchase, but nothing gives you competitive advantage in the game.
