With pressure caving in and the desire to live a simple life, Dong Nguyen, the creator of the much popular Flappy Bird game, has decided to pull the game from both the iOS App Store and Google Play Store. With Flappy Bird making a whopping $50,000 dollars per day just on ads alone, it seemed like the pressure and press got to the developer. According to his personal Twitter account yesterday:
“I am sorry ‘Flappy Bird' users, 22 hours from now, I will take ‘Flappy Bird' down. I cannot take this anymore. I also will not sell ‘Flappy Bird', please don't ask.”
He also mentioned that while he's humbled that his game has gotten so popular, it comes as a cost as he prefers to live a ‘simple' life and not be in the limelight. Sometimes other things are more important than money, right? Dong also mentioned that he still has and will develop more games, but the much popular Flappy Bird will be retired, at least for now.
Bring on the clones!! Did you enjoy Flappy Bird?
