Nintendo denies objections to de-listed iOS hit Flappy Bird
"While we usually do not comment on the rumors and speculations, we have already denied the speculation," a Nintendo spokesperson told the Wall Street Journal.
Nguyen has remained relatively silent on his motivations for removing Flappy Bird, though in his tweet announcing the game's de-listing, Nguyen states, "I cannot take this anymore." It's unclear what exactly Nguyen is referencing there, though a Twitter search for the phrase "Flappy Bird" returns thousands of harassing tweets alongside numerous articles decrying the independent developer for intellectual property theft.

It is because now people are going to play his other games and these games, don't have any familiar green towers.

Thlack It's insane how much attention this game is getting. I am surprised a big company didnt try to buy the game from Dong and produce it on their own.
This is just a brief internet fad. it'll all blow over by spring and it will be another temple run, copter, or jetpack joyride

Agree. It's such a simplistic game as well, interesting to see how these sort of games can compete in today's technology of other more high quality and adventurous games.
Anyways, the fact that the game has been removed from app stores really did not stop anything. The game can still be played if on the phone, and can be found online on gaming websites.

KatsumiSanctorum People have to stop talking about this. All I see everywhere is Flappy bird. It's all over eBay, YouTube, Facebook and even TTG. It NEEDS to stop!!
It's a passing fad, just wait a few weeks and i will be surprised if i still hear many people talking about it.
Yeah, I'll give it two weeks maximum and we'll be on to the next one.
