Angry Birds Stella is the first Rovio Entertainment video game published in China, but certainly not the last. Selling an Android, or any, video game in China is difficult for a western video game developer and this takes time to change. The company has a small presence in the country, but this news means red skies on the horizon for Rovio Entertainment in the Chinese video game market. It also means western developers reading this news are thinking about making headway in the lucrative Chinese video game market.
