As promised, Dong Nguyen, the developer of Flappy Bird, has now removed the game from the iOS App Store and the Google Play Store.
The developer looks to be shying away from the spotlight, as the game was bringing in about $50,000 in ad revenue per day after being released just last month.
If you already have it installed, you can continue to play it but searching will lead you to a page that includes reviews but no ability to download.
The frustratingly addicting game was the top free game for both Android and iOS. The developer's tweet announcing the news has quickly become one of the most retweeted Tweets of the year, with 130,000 rewteets in 24 hours.
I am sorry 'Flappy Bird' users, 22 hours from now, I will take 'Flappy Bird' down. I cannot take this anymore.
