It’s been fifteen years since the release of the first game in the Angry Birds series, and I think it’s safe to say few would have expected it to turn out as popular as it did. Whether that’s the hit releases on iOS and Android, the merchandise, the film series(!) or the fact it almost certainly fuelled a major acquisition by one of the biggest gaming companies in the world, Sega.

Wow, 15 years of Angry Birds! That’s wild. I remember when the first game dropped and it was all over the place. Who knew a bunch of angry birds could lead to such a massive franchise? From mobile hits to merchandise and even movies, it’s crazy how it all blew up.
Ben Mattes giving us a peek behind the curtain is super cool. It’s interesting to think about how a simple concept turned into a cultural phenomenon. And the fact that it played a part in Sega’s big moves? Just goes to show how influential these little birds have been. Here’s to many more years of flinging those feathery friends!
