![]() Sadly, there’s as much chance of that as me forking out 90 quid on virtual currency to feed cartoon birds. ![]() One thing’s for sure: like those birds that get fired across the screen, hideous gaming practices are something the industry needs to catapult into oblivion. The official pages of Angry Birds, including Facebook and Youtube post these codes regularly, so make sure you stay updated. Also the release dates for the new updates can be different on various. The only exception to this rule is the Window PC version, where you can only synchronise your progress with another PC. Where To Find More Codes You can obtain various official codes from social media sources. Android devices and Google Play Games on PC can be connected using the Google Play account, and two iOS devices can be linked using just an Apple ID. That things were better in the old days? That you should maybe buy Rovio Classics: Angry Birds but not touch the IAP-infused sequel? That you should definitely support premium games on mobile that do exist – especially those by indies who still care? Angry Birds 2 promo codes are only available for Android devices, so they would not work on your apple device. I’m not sure what the moral of this tale is. Like too many recent Apple Arcade titles, Reloaded feels like a freemium game with IAP ripped out – a symptom of the service’s abrupt shift from premium and experimental fare to focusing on ‘retention’ and ‘engagement’ – albeit minus some of the more unsavoury elements. Sure, there are no ads and IAP to navigate children past, but the game mechanics aren’t so different. In the end, my daughter, through tears, decided to delete the game herself.Įven Angry Birds Reloaded on Apple Arcade doesn’t provide a full escape route from this kind of horror show. Although I did also spot another option, whereupon I could buy a clan chest designed to “help out your clan” – a snip at £89.99. Alert readers will recall that’s the same price as the remake. We only needed another 25 apples, the game said – which I was told could be ours for 89p. What I do know is I fumed at what I saw: a sad little bird with BIG EYES, and a warning that there were mere hours left to feed her. Now, I don’t know how the game got on to the iPad she has access to – probably my fault. Things got far worse, though, to the point I recently found my kid crying about Angry Birds 2. Even the original Angry Birds had the Mighty Eagle – a paid-for cheat mode to help players cruise through tougher levels. Skeevy IAP became commonplace – and Rovio was no stranger to that. Soon, though, games made you the product – selling you to advertisers – or they swapped value and entertainment for grind and ‘engagement’. ![]() It’s easy to forget games on Android and iPhone used to be a straight value swap: money for entertainment. This is hinted at right in-app store descriptions of Rovio Classics: Angry Birds, which state “no IAPs” (in-app purchases) and “no ads”. The flip side is it feels like a dangerous reminder of where Rovio started and where it went – and how the purity of old-school mobile was more widely corrupted and transformed into a monster. ![]()
