Flappy Bird to stop flapping

4.4
Dong Nguyen, the developer behind Flappy bird, has threatened to take the popular game down due to his inability to cope with success.

It appears the lone developer cannot handle the success of his game, he claims it has changed his "simple life".

I can call ‘Flappy Bird’ is a success of mine. But it also ruins my simple life. So now I hate it."Dong Nguyen"


It is estimated that he is making upwards of $50k a day via in-game ads while garnering 50 million downloads from the various platforms. Keith Shepherd, co-founder of the developer behind Temple Run, has reached out in a bid to help the struggling Dong cope. It is unclear at time of posting if he intends to accept the help.


We'll keep you updated on the latest regarding Flappy Bird and it's seemingly unstable developer.

How do you think you would cope if something you created had widespread success almost overnight?

He didn't make the game for the money. He proved that by taking it out of the App Store.

To me, he should have known that making a game like that, that he would get that type of reaction out of people.

The money that he has already made from it, is crazy and I am sure he is easily set up for the rest of his life. I think now that we know the real reason he took it down the support for the Temple Run guy is kind of pointless.
