Rovio Renames Angry Birds Classic on iOS Due to ‘Impact’ on Wider Games Portfolio
Rovio did not go into specifics on how the game is affecting its other titles, but Rovio Classics: Angry Birds is a paid app with no in-app purchases, unlike Angry Birds Friends, Angry Birds Journey, and Angry Birds 2, three other Rovio games that encourage microtransactions. Development resources for the Classic game could be used on other apps that bring in more money.
Customers who go to search for Angry Birds in the App Store will now be encouraged to download one of the newer titles with in-app purchase options rather than shown the paid $0.99 Classics option.
The Angry Birds Classics title will be unlisted from the Google Play Store on Thursday, and it will be renamed on the App Store. Customers who have already paid for and downloaded Rovio Classics: Angry Birds will be able to continue to play it after the app has been unlisted/renamed.
Rovio said that this is “sad news” for fans and the team that worked on Rovio Classics: Angry Birds, but the company hopes fans will transition to its other titles.

Angry Birds is one of the most well-known mobile games, and it has been around since 2009. The franchise has spawned multiple titles, two movies, books, comics, theme park attractions, and merchandise. Rovio Classics: Angry Birds was introduced just about a year ago after Rovio took the time to rebuild it with a new game engine.

I’m furious after a Tardis-like PORTABLE TOILET was dumped in my parking spot – I’ve had to leave an angry note
A BLOKE was stunned to find a Tardis-like PORTABLE TOILET dumped in his parking space.
Awais Shahzada had come back from gym when he found the smelly visitor which looked remarkably like Dr Who’s famous Police Box.
Perplexed at the toilet – plonked there by builders – he slapped a note on it demanding Dr Who shift his “space time sh***er”.
Awais, from Redbridge, East London, said: “I messaged my friends about it and were all saying I should push it out or that they could come the next day and move it.
“I never got angry [about it] because it’s a toilet, it’s kind of funny.
“Maybe Dr Who has had to cut back in the cost-of-living crisis? It must cost a lot of money to maintain this time machine and travel through space as well.”
Despite having to park elsewhere, Awais saw the funny side and scrawled a note that he stuck to the door.
It read: “Hi Dr Who. Mate, you’ve parked your space time sh**ter on my parking bay. Can you please move it? Thanks!”
The local government worker posed next to it for a series of snaps before contacting his estate agent the following day who had it moved.
The ‘Turdis’, as one joker online branded it, was moved to a patch of grass nearby but still had the note emblazoned on the front.
Awais said: “If I’d decided to be cheeky and put a toilet there and then someone put a note on it, I’d take it down to save myself embarrassment.”
The 32-year-old shared his pictures on social media, with the post racking up almost 200 likes, comments and shares.
Social media users found the incident hilarious and commented on his predicament.
One joked : “Missed an opportunity to say ‘Turdis’ there surely.”
Another commented: “Dr Poo in his Turdis.”
While a third chimed: “Who dumps their bog on someone’s property?”
Site Equip, who own the portable toilet, declined to comment.
