Last update 4-5-2017: After going back and forth between Roku and Rovio aka Angry Birds on my issue , (I was told to contact Rovio as Roku could not do anything) I received this sad email from Rovio:
Apr 5, 18:04 EEST
Hello there,
thank you for reaching out to us. Unfortunately, we have ended the distribution of our games on Roku platform on the 31st of August 2014. As a result, our games are no longer available on Roku. We hope you get a chance to play the games on another platform.
As long as you have those games installed, they will remain available for you to play, but they can no longer be purchased. We apologize for the inconvenience caused and hope this clarifies things.
Best regards,
Tadeusz
Rovio Support Team
*** So folks, if you still have a working Roku 2 XS or a Roku 3, keep those as all the Angry Birds games work on them. EVEN if you paid for these Angry Birds games, they will NOT carry over to the NEW Roku models even though all the other games you may have purchased for the Roku 2XS or Roku 3 carry over to the NEW Roku models (as mine have) just NOT the Angry Birds games that you got for FREE or purchased. *** I tried.. for my son with Autism, and hoping for LESS clutter. Good thing I still own 4 Roku 2XS's!
UPDATE 4/4/2017:
After a lot of research, I found out that the Angry Birds Game license with ROKU has expired and this game is only found on the original Roku 2XS models now. After further research, I found that I can add a vanity code and PURCHASE Angry Birds Rio and Angry Birds Seasons for $4.99 each. Which I did today. However, these 2 Angry Birds games I purchased (like others I have bought) only show up on my ROKU 2 XS's and not on my Roku Premier + or my Roku Ultra. Very frustrating because the past games I have purchased for my Roku 2XS's all show up on the new Roku Models, but not the Angry Birds Rio or Angry Birds Seasons. **knocking off another star!**

I own 4 Roku 2XS (since 2013) and they've worked great up until Dec. 2016, when now watching a video via Amazon Prime or Youtube or SlingTV, they all now RE-BOOT within 60 minutes when they never had a problem prior to Dec 2016. No fix for this strange problem and it coincidentally seems maybe Roku is forcing us to buy the NEWER models? Regardless, I plunged in and bought 2 replacements for 2 of my Roku 2 XS's.
One the Roku Premier+ and the other a Roku Ultra both via Amazon. Both work great (so far) while watching movies for over 60 minutes, but my only BIG GRIPE is they have taken away the basic ANGRY BIRDS GAME (offered free with the ROKU 2XS) It is not offered free or for purchase at all on the newer ROKU Models! Sure they have the other games we've purchased with the Roku 2XS's now brought over to my new ROKU models as well as some other games for free and for purchase, but my problem is the NEW ROKU MODELS are missing the ANGRY BIRDS GAME. It is just not there for us now. The NEW ROKU models are very capable of handling the basic Angry Birds Game. So why isn't it offered?
My one 13 yr old twin son has Autism. HE LOVES this game! He plays it alone, and the best part is that he PLAYS WITH OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS with this awesome game. I've messaged ROKU via Facebook how this very simple fun family game should be brought back to the NEWER ROKU Models. If the old Roku 2XS's can handle the Angry Birds game, certainly the new Roku Models can.
I can't post my petition link on this issue here with my Amazon review, but maybe others out there can contact ROKU about bringing the Angry Birds Game back to the new ROKU models via email, twitter, or FB on this issue that would be great!
If Roku brings back this FUN FAMILY GAME (even if I have to purchase it) , I will raise my rating stars to 5.
