The 2.0.1 update that adds support for older Macs breaks the game for everybody else. Read the reviews on the UK and US App Stores. It’s completely unplayable now so don’t waste your money until Rovio fixes it.

That might be a long time as from a number of the comments on the US App Store particularly, Rovio is saying that their introduction of the problems that make the game unplayable is actually a design feature!

Are you willing to send me a disk, because being unemployed means I cannot afford it?

I can see how having poor support led to a low rating, I would be annoyed if i had an older mac and it wasn’t supported. I now have Angry Birds on the iphone ipad and macbook, it’s a silly addictive game, turns my 5min revision breaks into hours.

Another reason they might have done this, could be to fix the signature file or whatever its called, that allowed people to “hack” the game and use it for free.

It requires 10.6.6 because it requires the App Store, there is no technical limitation to running on prior versions of Snow Leopard.

Why not just update?

But you still have to be running Snow Leopard 10.6.6.
