One of the reasons Rovio decided to place Windows Phone and Windows PCs on the backburner has to do with the company losing money. Rovio appears to be in a terrible situation since it was forced to let go of nearly 50% of its workforce. Despite riding high in the past, it has proven unable to keep that momentum going. Outside of a game known as Bad Piggies, an Angry Birds spinoff, Rovio has failed to come up with another hit mobile game on the same level. Angry Birds was so popular at one point that the company decided to create a movie that ultimately fared poorly at the box office, only making a little over $300 million at the box office. Here’s what Rovio had to say in a statement: We can only hope Microsoft is able to convince other developers to not jump ship because it’s clear that Android and iOS are where the money is at and that’s not going to change anytime soon. The whole debacle is bit ironic because earlier this year, Microsoft released a slew of Angry Birds emoji in Skype. So much for that. RELATED STORIES YOU NEED TO CHECK OUT:
