Flappy Bird developer "cannot take this anymore" and is taking down insanely popular game

Developer Dong Nguyen will keep making games, but Flappy Bird will be no more by the end of the weekend.

The somewhat reclusive developer of inexplicable runaway hit Flappy Bird has announced that he "cannot take this anymore" and will be removing the game from app stores in 22 hours, as of 2:02 PM EST today. Dong Nguyen explained on his Twitter account that the takedown isn't due to any legal reasons, and that he won't be selling the rights to the game.
