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?

He claims he took it down because it was An 'Addictive Product'. The way I see is this is a publicity stunt and nothing more.

He got a lot of grief from many people, I would of done the same if I was him, he made enough money in the time it was released to buy him some luxurys, but its not worththe death threats or any of the grief he has been getting

Apparently he has received many death threats. I would rather not live with 50k a day and know I am safe, rather than earn that much and being scared to go outside.

He would have been pestered for interviews and spammed with tweets probably abusing him for making a game that people are frustrated at which i would image, could cause stress...

I downloaded this on my phone a week or so ago and deleted it a few days before it was taken of the App stores. I just learned today though that you can go to the iOS App store and go to things you've purchased and download it from there.

I think Dong Nguyen should just be a man and toughen up a little bit, in my opinion.
