In 2009, Angry Birds debuted and since then has been downloaded more than 300 million times. It is estimated to reach 1 billion downloads in the near future. What is more shocking is that people play it 200 million minutes everyday!
Rovio, the company who is responsible for the widespread of Angry Birds addiction recognized the growing obsession and capitalized on it. Addiction to this happens very fast. One minute you are downloading the game and the next thing you know is that you can’s stop playing.
Although it appears that very few people are safe from this addiction, there is a demographic segment of the population that is more likely to fall to its charm. Young and single men are likely to purchase paid game versions. Not only people are obsessed by this game but children as well. With kids, it is not limited to the game alone but hundreds of Angry Birds paraphernalia to choose from. There is even a movie on the make which will guarantee more obsessions from fans of this game around the world. There’s no doubt about it, this game is really making waves these days and for many years to come. Much so with the release of the movie later on.
