Flappy Bird Pulled From Play Store (And Appstore) As Promised
Yesterday, Dong Nguyen, creator of the bewildering smash hit Flappy Bird, announced via Twitter that he would be taking Flappy Bird down a day later.
I am sorry 'Flappy Bird' users, 22 hours from now, I will take 'Flappy Bird' down. I cannot take this anymore.
— Dong Nguyen (@dongatory) February 8, 2014
The tweet has, of course, fueled endless speculation over the past 24 hours - after all, why would the creator of a game that's apparently racking up $50,000 per day in ad revenue suddenly pull the plug? While we may never (and likely don't need to) know the true answer, one fact is evident - Flappy Bird has been taken offline.
It's important to note that those who have already installed Flappy Bird can continue to infuriate (and perhaps, for a fleeting moment, gratify) themselves with the hopelessly beak-heavy pixel bird, but those who haven't already installed the game will be left out (unless they want to take a chance with the myriad knock-offs on the Play Store). If on the other hand you hate Flappy Bird, you can take out your frustration with the web-based Squishy Bird.
The game's creator has given no evidence that the game will ever return, but does reassure Twitter followers "...I still make games."
