Dong Nguyen, the developer behind Flappy bird, has threatened to take the popular game down due to his inability to cope with success.

It appears the lone developer cannot handle the success of his game, he claims it has changed his "simple life".

I can call ‘Flappy Bird’ is a success of mine. But it also ruins my simple life. So now I hate it."Dong Nguyen"


It is estimated that he is making upwards of $50k a day via in-game ads while garnering 50 million downloads from the various platforms. Keith Shepherd, co-founder of the developer behind Temple Run, has reached out in a bid to help the struggling Dong cope. It is unclear at time of posting if he intends to accept the help.


We'll keep you updated on the latest regarding Flappy Bird and it's seemingly unstable developer.

I heard it was because it was criticised by reviews for various reasons, even though he works alone and made the game in only a few days. Such a shame but I get why he would be getting stressed over the hype.

He'll be kicking himself afterwards if he cancels it.

I wonder why he hates it. I mean that's a lot of money, for just one day.

Aggie Its insane to think that this game was making him $50K per day just off ads.

Its a shame to see this app go, but on the other hand, I hated this game.


Likewise, this game almost made me break down on several occasions. Insane amount of money too.
