    In the early 2000s, a simple game with angry bird characters swept our smartphones, with unprecedented overwhelming success, "Angry Birds," the game created by Finnish company Rovio Entertainment, was not just an entertaining game, but a global cultural phenomenon, with its characters invading stores, television screens and cinemas.

    One of the reasons that contributed to this fall is the over-expansion and diversification. After the immense success of the original game, Rovio rushed to release multiple versions of the game, with slight changes in gameplay or the addition of new characters. This excess has distracted the public and lost focus on the original game that people loved, in addition, the company has expanded in the production of consumer products labeled as "Angry birds", such as toys, clothing and books, have saturated the market and lost brand value, as well as not adjusting to changes in the gaming market as the smartphone gaming market has witnessed rapid developments, new gaming styles, such as Battle Royal games and multiplayer online games.​
    "Angry Birds" could not keep up with these changes and provide a new and innovative gameplay experience that attracts the audience. It also poured its full focus on quantity and not how rather than focusing on the development and improvement of the original game. Rovio was busy releasing new copies and consumer products, negatively affecting the quality of the game and the user experience.
