Flappy Bird has stopped flapping

4.3
Flappy Bird has officially stopped flapping, it has been removed from both the Apple and Play stores when it appears the developer, Dong Nguyen, has a nervous breakdown over it's success claiming it was "ruining his life".



It is assumed that Dong will NOT be fulfilling his claim of porting Flappy Bird to Windows Phones.

Prior to Dong ceasing his Twitter presence he stated that the attention he had received stemming from his game coupled with the "stress of making $50k a day" were among the reasons he had pulled the game.

How do those who played Flappy Birds feel about this entire ordeal?

very suspicious about the legal issues.

He had to take the game down because several companies were going to sue him for obvious reasons. Does Flappy Bird remind you of Super Mario at all? Either take the game down or face lawsuit and he chose to take the game down.

I don't understand how he was stressed, making $50k a day, he can probably retire quite happily now though!

This guy has to be crazy to take it down. Even if it's down and people are still playing it does it continue to give him money for adds?

You know what? I think I could deal with the "stress" of $50K a day!

Folk LOL people were sending him death threats.


That's pathetic really.
Why do people get so angry over this game, I don't understand it. If you are getting this mad just turn it off.

Not that big of a deal, just a passing game like temple run or angry birds.

Well this is the messed up world we live in where the creator or a free app can receive death threats because of making a semi-challenging game.
