PC Versions of Angry Birds Apps Officially Discontinued
这是一个悲伤的消息，PC版本愤怒的小鸟不再更新产品下架
We are sad to say that the Angry Birds apps on PC have been
officially discontinued. This is, of course, a rather upsetting piece of
news that we feel obligated to inform our users about. While the
official word comes directly from Rovio’s FAQ, this conversation was originally spurred by some users in a forum thread here on Nest. In particular, we’d like to thank @mixx
for really getting the ball rolling in terms of credible information,
though unfortunately it was a ball rolling downhill in terms of the
storyline.
Here’s the snippet from Rovio’s FAQ (at the time of writing):
Why have PC games been discontinued? Will they receive further updates?
We
have decided to discontinue development on PC games to focus on
providing a better experience for these games on mobile devices. This
change takes effect on November 13th, 2014. Starting from this date, PC
games will no longer be available for purchase or download.
Additionally, these games will no longer receive updates. To play the
most recent versions of the games, please search for the mobile versions
of the games on the app marketplace associated with your mobile device.
Again,
we understand this is disappointing, but please don’t take this out on
us. It was not our decision. Please read on, as we think there are
viable options to consider:
All is not lost!
Retrieving your data files on PC/Mac is actually quite simple.
Transferring these data files to a mobile device (though not ideal) may
keep your progress intact, allowing you to pick up where you left off! I
recommend checking our Complete Backup / Transfer Guide.
In fact, you can start off ahead of where you left off! PC’s last update was on September 22nd, and a few apps have seen updates since then. And don’t forget about On Finn Ice, which is coming very soon on Angry Birds Seasons!
We have not yet
received any official word about Mac support. Rovio’s FAQ only refers
to PC and Rovio’s own online shop. It is possible that Mac is still a
supported platform (though the pessimist will point out that Mac’s last
update came on July 29th).
We have not yet received any official word about Steam support.
