As promised, developer removes 'Flappy Bird' from app stores

Written by Andre Yoskowitz @ 09 Feb 2014 3:38 User comments (16)

As promised, developer removes 'Flappy Bird' from app stores 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.

Maybe you're right. But this guy could just relax unless someone was threatening him. I do think that Chappel was under pressure to keep producing material. I saw him being interviewed on Oprah and he still didn't seem to get that he had a breakdown... part of the macho culture he feels part of I suppose.
