Angry Birds games have 200m monthly active players

What is is about?
Angry Birds has been downloaded 1bn times and Andrew Stalbo, owner of Rovio says "'In any given day, we have 20-30m people playing our games connected". Angry Birds will be having a Angry Birds Star Wars to appeal to the Star Wars fans and because they are star wars fans themselves. Also, having a short series Angry Birds Toons. They have released Bad Piggies which reached the top of the downloads in hours of it being released.

My thoughts?
I think that it's a good thing that they want to expand and create more franchise for their popular game "angry birds". However making a series is a little extra, but it's a good way to make money. I've played this game a handful amount of times, I found it kind of addictive but I got over it. Having 20-30million people download it on any given day is pretty impressive also.
