The successful Flappybird game is going down tomorrow, what do you think of this?

Quote :

The developer of the popular mobile game Flappy Bird just declared that he’s taking the game down tomorrow.

Dong Nguyen, an indie game developer based in Hanoi, Vietnam, tweeted, “I am sorry ‘Flappy Bird’ users, 22 hours from now, I will take ‘Flappy Bird’ down. I cannot take this anymore.” He then elaborated, “It is not anything related to legal issues. I just cannot keep it anymore.”

After his tweets first went out, others asked if he was willing to sell it, but he said no. Nguyen also said that he’s still making games.

TechCrunch interviewed Nguyen via email a week ago, after Flappy Bird took off (it’s still the number one free app in both Apple’s App Store and in Google Play). He said that he’s the only creator at his game studio .GEARS , and he seemed to be as surprised by Flappy Bird’s popularity as anyone else, telling us, “I have no resources to do anything else beside uploading the game.”

I’ve emailed Nguyen to find out more and will update this post if I hear back. Presumably, if you’ve already downloaded the game you’d be able to continue playing it, but again, that’s not something I’ve confirmed with Nguyen.

As noted in Kotaku, Nguyen said earlier this week that the press was “overrating” the success of his games: “It is something I never want. Please give me peace.”

I agree with this video.

I'm glad it's happening. Flappy Bird was a really stupid game.

Im just glad i had the smarts to download the .APK and the .IPA files for the game, i really enjoy flappy birds even if it has amassed such a big ammount of haters.

BTW did you hear that the main guy behind it was getting death threats

Yeah, watch the video I posted. It goes a bit more in depth about that. Everyone who makes something is going to get threats by people who don't like what they do, but not everyone can handle it.

There's been quite a bit of bad behavior and issues due to the game, which is most likely the reason behind this.
One boy in Chicago actually stabbed his brother because of Flappy Bird, you can read more about it http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/537919/20140209/chicago-teen-kills-brother-over-flappy-bird.htm#.UvwglvldVfA.
It's not a huge loss that it's out of the app store...

This guy was getting some crazy emails from people, though I hate the fact he was getting paid so much money for a game plenty of people made before him.

The funny thing is, Flappy Bird is still around and many copies of the game has been created. There's even an MMO for it with fish. O.O
