and then you hear about some random mobile developer no one on gaming forums seems to have ever heard of getting sold for a $1 billion or something. 

We all know who Rovio is, but it would be lile buying MySpace, who even play Angry Birds anymore ? They past their prime a very long time ago

I don't know about the popularity of Angry Birds at this point, but the revenue chart @the-pi-guy posted seems to indicate that Rovio is definitely not comparable to MySpace. If anything, it seems they're at their prime, despite the perceived lack of visibility.
