Considering the US is Rovio’s second largest market (Currently China is #1) it kind of makes sense. The Chinese embrace much of western culture as “hip”,”cool” or “trendy”, while we Americans are very arrogant and elitest… in other word the largest market will embrace the 2nd largest markets culture but not the other way around. Outside of Chinese New Year most Americans know little and care even less about Chinese culture… sad but true. So to engage their second largest revenue base they theme things around U.S. interests. Also as the largest vehicles for app distribution (Google and Apple) are U.S. companies (yes they bother operate internatuinally I know) you find app developers catering to that market. I’m sorry to say my culture is willfully ignorant of others and we are a very selfish culture, Americans will proudly embrace Veteran’s day here in the U.S. but 99% will have no idea what Anzac day is. Rovio’s decision is purely financial to placate an ignorant market share that they value. And yes I am American and proud to be one but I am also not blind or ignorant or self deluded. With all this said… Happy Thanksgiving all!!! :)
