Flappy Birds creator 'considering' its return with added 'warnings'
Flappy Birds shot to fame earlier this year when the game inexplicably went viral, topping iOS and Android app stores with millions of downloads before Nguyen pulled the game down, explaining that it "ruins my simple life", and that the game had become too addictive for its players.
But speaking with Rolling Stone in a recent interview, the Vietnamese indie developer said the game, or a follow-up to it, may make a return.
"I'm considering it," he said when asked if Flappy Birds may come back.
While Nguyen said he's not currently working on a new version of the game, he did reveal that, should a follow-up materialize, it will come with a "warning" for players similar to that of many modern Nintendo games: "Please take a break."
Elsewhere in the interview, Nguyen revealed he's working on three new games, an unnamed 'cowboy-themed shooter', a 'vertical flying game called Kitty Jetpack' and an "action chess game" called Checkonaut. One, he said, will be released this month.

I am sure he will bring it back if he is already considering it. He is turning a lot of money down by keeping it off the iOS and Android app stores.

This guy is brilliant. Even if it was on accident. Just like the Coca-Cola scheme in the 1900s. He takes it off the market with such a popularity and people want it back, which drives more customers!

FaIIen I don't see why he pulled it in the first place, he was making great money from it.
It was probably from all the death threats he's been receiving. Stupid how people fight about a free game that no one is forcing you play. Humans man, humans.
