    I'll take the 50k/day off his hands if it's so traumatic for him

    Lol marketing at his best.

    No doubt in a few weeks ' FLAPPY BIRD 2 ' ' THE RETURN OF THE FLAP ' lmao.

    Or he was having legal issues. The stuff about all the hassle is bullshit, with 50k A DAY I am sure you can turn that hassle in to love lol...


    He should of just left flappy bird to run its time while he developed new games.

    Ohwell.

    I read about copyright issues with nintendo for the use of the mario pipes. Not sure if it's true or not, but it makes a lot of sense. Just seems like a cover up for it.

    That could be the case, but they could be closing down, and re-releasing ASAP as a new title without the mario pipes ?

    Yes, this is a possibility.

    His announcement was a distraction for attention to make the game bigger than it is now and get more people to play it. I could see the game costing money on it's return.

    These indie game creators deal with a lot though.

    Indeed.. I doubt he will release the game as a PAID game though as he reached $50k a day in advertising.

    And going by the current press release of the game closing I suspect the new release to easily reach $50k and also I guess he is going to add extras like different 'skins'.

    Thats what I would do anyways, Flappybird - Starwars, Flappybird - Monsters etc etc the list can go on.

    Fingers crossed someone don't release a similar game in its absence.

    If he really willingly shut down his app because of "abuse" he is retarded. At least donate that 50k/d to charity lol.

    It's a marketing ploy. Nothing more.

    If it's a marketing ploy that's really low of him to do that.... Although I suppose it's not illegal.

    I couldn't find it today on the Play store for my phone. Part of the marketing ploy, or did he remove it for good?

    It's gone from iOS too. He went through with his announcement, for whatever reasons. I think he didn't want to get into a legal hassle with Nintendo, he could have lost all of his money if he ended up with a guilty verdict on copyright infringement, at least this way he gets to keep a million or two.

    I saw ad on craigslist today that someone was selling an IPhone with flappybird download for $15,000. Lmao.

    Anyone want to buyt droid with flappybird downloaded? Steal of a deal- only $1,000.

    If anyone ever buys a phone just for the flappybird, then they have some problems. Like everyone else has said, just wait 3 weeks and you'll be seeing flappybird 2.

    Bear in mind - he is still getting revenue from ads running at the moment, new people just can't download the game.

    We have a gaming section for a reason you fucking mongoloid.

    On topic, the game looks like the epitome of shite. If you don't want to play it, don't play it. The world won't give a shit within a week about this game once it goes down. Go outside and play.

    This is less about the game and more about the culture around the game... Not sure why it was moved.
