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?

I'm glad i kept it, as now i keep beating my previous scores. Also he made a smart move, by announcing it's removal a few days before he got rid of it, so more people downloaded it.

ExoticWolfs He did the right thing by taking the game down. Yeah he was getting rich off of it, but people were going crazy over it. A man killed his brother for beating his high score.... I think he did the right thing.


I'm pretty sure there are alternative motives behind him taking it down.

Obi-Wan i don't understand how making some peoples average annual wage in 1 day is stressful?


There would be a lot of stress being behind one of the most popular games of a certain time period. It absolutely exploded in a time span of 3-4 days


Dong did not do it for the money, thats perfectly clear.


It was, but more fool him... 50k a day ffs.
