Flappy Bird Being Pulled from Stores

[Joe88]

Has nothing to do with fame, most likely a c&d from the owner of the game he ripped off

Man making 50k a day must be so stressful...

Not everyone want to be famous in real life, expressly hacker and mafia.

No ripping off or anything

The creator said it "ruined his simple life"
Basically he wasn't ready for the wrath of the internet, or the wrath of the jealousy of those around him

I never played the game , but when I seen screen shots of it , I instantly thought it looked like a smb ripoff

Nintendo stated they aren't complaining about this game.

 

[Zeliga]

Wow, I heard that he gets about 20k everyday because of the ad revenue thats insane

50k per day. but I digress. Ad revenue is relatively easy if you have millions of people viewing the ads daily.

Angry Birds is a hard game now?

Nice new avatar! [/offtopic]

Anyways... Flappy bird sucks?

Thank god, everyone I know was playing it.

Yes, thank god, I have the same thoughts as you do about this game.

This is genius. Create hype by saying you'll pull the app. People freak, and rush to download the game in a frenzy. Purely brilliant. He doesn't have to deal with any more haters of the game, with it being gone, and he's got enough money for life.

IT SUUUUCKS

He will become the Mark Zuckerberg of mobile gaming. They will make a movie about him some day, it will be called The Flappy Network and the movie's tagline will be "you don't get to 10 million downloads without killing a few birds"

It can be depending on where you live.

People are still playing it, it seems like the game ripped off the warp pipes from mario.

 

[zeello]

Maybe he just feels bad about the warp pipe thing. He never intended for the game to become more popular than Mario.

The developer of Super Hexagon made a sweet little clone of it. I seriously wouldn't mind playing this on a phone instead.

I wish I could understand how pieces of shit like this go viral. I would churn out some crap and make millions. Either way, the popularity of things like this is so illogical I don't think anybody will ever be able to intentionally replicate this outcome

Those of you who have missed their chance to grab Flappy Bird before it was taken down, fear not! You can still grab a phone with Flappy Bird on eBay for a mere $1500! What a steal!
