I can't for the life of me figure out the logic behind this decision.

Spending money on what could have been better invested into their games. I mean if they wanted to enter the phone market that fine, but they had plenty of viable IPs themselves they could have used.

If Sega wanted to break into the mobile scene...surely there are better ways. This is baffling.

Angry Birds might be a lot more popular still than perhaps we think.

It probably earns quite a bit of passive income still, at this point.

I went bowling last month for the first time in ages and they had an Angry Birds game mode, so instead of normal bowling the goal was to knock over specific pins it chose. So perhaps.
