Sega is nearing a deal to buy "Angry Birds" game creator Rovio Entertainment.
The entertainment conglomerate is expected to pay $1 billion if the deal is finalized, according to WSJ.
After much success launching "Angry Birds" in 2009, the Finnish company reported losses in 2019.

Japanese video game conglomerate Sega Sammy Holdings Inc. is in talks to acquire Rovio Entertainment, the company behind the popular "Angry Birds" mobile games.
