Yes its been a sad decline, first their merchandise income fell apart, you can only buy so many toys, and kids grow up of course. Then their game discs became obsolete with the phone and app  revolution, and then their movies tanked badly at the box office,  the writing was on the wall. Then of course the final nail was some years ago with their IPO , when they floated rovio onto the world market, initial perception because of angry birds success was it would generate about 2 billion in share creation, but in the 2 years if took to get it done had been bad for rovio and when the time came it generated less than 1 billion, a huge shock for rovio and the stockmarket, i mean youve got to remember rovio kicked off angry birds over a decade ago with about a 90 ,0000 us dollar investment so to turn that into a billion is pretty damn good, but rovio ever since has struggled to come up with a follow up to angry birds, and this happens to lots of people, a bands second album, a follow up single, a great car design, a directors second movie , this is what makes true success , your follow up, rovio has fallen short, the first ten years it was about the game, but since its been about the money, now its about how to we extract money from advertisers and players, now its run like an online gambling site or bookmaking site or online casino . Unfortunately this is the new world order, , get the people hooked for free then start increasing prices for all the addicts, rovio is just the newest incarnation of the drug dealer on the corner.
