Yes, there are still places you can’t see Angry Birds yet. Roku wants to fix that: The company, whose boxes are best known for making it easier to play Netflix on your TV, says it will bring the pig-killing game there, too.
Roku says it will start selling casual games, beginning with all three versions of Rovio’s addictive titles, this summer.
But wait a minute: Rovio sells hardware that you connect to your TV and the Internet, but it doesn’t sell things you need to play games, like joysticks and other game controllers. How are Rovio customers going to play this stuff?
(Also, isn’t half the fun of Angry Birds the joy you get when you pull your finger across an iPhone or Android handset and send one of the little dudes catapulting into a building? What’s the point of doing this game on a non-touchscreen, anyway?)
Rovio won’t say, yet, except that it’s going to start selling other devices, too. It also won’t talk about pricing or anything else specific. So best not to burn too many calories on this until they do.
