A month ago I posted about my frustrations with video ads in Angry Birds on Android and how there was no pay option. At the same time I emailed Rovio to inform them of my frustration with the video ads and asked when a for-pay version of their software may be available. A couple days ago I received the following response from Rovio informing me that an option to pay and opt out of ads will become available later this year:
Hello Steve,
and thanksd for contacting us.
Sorry hear you decided to uninstall the game.
A payment option to opt out of the ads will be introduced worldwide this year.
Best Regards,

I’m anxiously looking forward to this because I do enjoy playing Angry Birds, but I simply do not want to support the software’s authors by viewing commercials.
Get an iPad, it’s a good game on the iPad. Much easier to play.
