Probably a smart move. All the big gaming companies are making purchases for big mobile developers. Will be interesting to see what comes of it!

Interesting! I just saw a video on youtube (or netflix? can't remember) about how Rovio went from the top of the world to basically nothing. $775M is a huge pay day for those guys, I'd be happy with that considering how badly the company has been run for so long.
