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?
He not really smart for doing this like is something blackmaling him or something about the game because if i was him i would not just give up the game like that
Oasis Don't get why he didn't just sell it and be done with it if it was too stressful for him. Oh well, plenty of clones out there anyway.
Been reading through his Twitter. I think the main reason he won't sell it is because the new 'owners' of the game would be taking the majority of the credit for the game and then he wouldn't be seen as much of a developer, so I guess he wants the game to still be in his name. Just a guess really
only problem with this guess is no game company will hire him after this.He's making 50k a day? whats he bi**hing about? i could live with the stress for 50k a day. This guy deserves a kick to the head.
