I’ve been playing AB, in nearly all its formats, since its first release to Android (nearly 5 years). It’s strength is in common, familiar gameplay across all the formats. ABF has introduced these extra means of boosting individual scores to beyond those realistically achievable by the standard gameplay methods. (ABSW2 has also introduced such methods, which are similarly ignored by purists)

You seem to be getting quite het-up about my terminology: it is not unusual, among my peers, to question whether any of the “cheat-birds” were used when a score is being discussed. Obviously, cultural differences seem to make you regard that as offensive, in some way. It is not a criticism of the player – it is a label for the non-standard devices introduced into this variant of the game. “Powerup” has always seemed a clumsy word to use for them. However, to appease, I shall now use it here.

I don’t understand your reference to powerups being a revenue stream for Rovio – surely they’re “purchased” with those tedious gold coins that I get awarded every day?
