Flappy Bird Creator Is Removing The Game From Stores
This topic is locked from further discussion.
I feel for the guy, truly. On a side note, I tried the game and can't see the appeal. One of the dumbest things I've ever played.
Oh boo hoo, you make $50K a day and you aren't laughing all the way to the bank?
You have no idea what the guy is going through to make such a statement. He gets absolutely attacked on twitter by the millions a day, he gets death threats and people constantly saying he's copying everything else. people who are just angry at the game take it out on him and tell him to "**** off and die"
Unless you experience what it's like to be hated by a large group of people you never know what it's like or the effects it can have on you. I get bombarded daily on youtube with people calling me gay, saying I'm copying or I suck and when you see all of that compounded it really depresses you
Here's a live list of tweets of hate targeted towards him with just the words "**** you" in their tweets, you can bet he gets a LOT more

One such example. Some people don't just brush off hate and find happiness in money

When did people start taking things people said on the internet seriously? It's like letting a bully's words get to you on the school yard. The troll wins when you take them seriously.

plus, if he was taking things seriously - he is now in a conundrum.
yes, he is receiving threats for putting the game up...
but now he risks death for taking the game down! https://twitter.com/YoungWillz_3/status/432621959101161472
so, it seems death is inevitable for Mr Dong. this was actually the case before he released his game.

Wow........ that's really sad. Losing faith in humanity again. U___U
Also I don't think anyone here know how it feels to receive thousands of hate messages everyday (maybe beside Jack). Even if you're successful, the disgusting stuff people behind their screen can get anyone down. You need to be tough to handle all that hate.
Sorry but you guys can't talk. Experience it yourself then talk.

Flappy Bird Creator Is Removing The Game From Stores
Developer Dong Nguyen announced via Twitter that the game will be taken off the Apple and Google markets in 22 hours.
Flappy Bird creator Dong Nguyen has surprisingly announced via Twitter that his game will be taken offline in just 22 hours. "I am sorry 'Flappy Bird' users," said Nguyen, "I cannot take this anymore." He later added that the reasoning for the takedown is "not anything related to legal issues. I just cannot keep it anymore," and that he will continue to make new games.
Flappy Bird is the frustratingly difficult iPhone and Android game that quickly, and unexpectedly, shot to the number 1 spot in both the Apple app store and Google's Play store. However, it faced some pretty harsh criticism from the citizens of the internet, both for being a "terrible game" as well as essentially plagiarizing assets from Nintendo's Super Mario Bros. series.
It looks like Nguyen, who reportedly makes up to $50,000 a day from the game, simply can't handle the internet vitriol being slung at him on a daily basis. And hey, who can blame him? Some of the things people say under the protection of internet anonymity can be pretty vile.
Nonetheless, it would have to be pretty harsh comments for him to throw away $50,000 a day, and it's possible that there may be some kind of legal action under the surface that Nguyen can't, or won't, talk about.
What do you think? Have you played Flappy Bird? Is it just a shameless cash-in of Mario assets thrown around a haphazardly built game, or is it the next Angry Birds?
