Flappy Bird Creator Decides to Take the Game Down and Lose $50,000 Dollars a Day

Can you imagine making 50 thousand dollars a day?  50 thousand dollars a day!!  And then saying, "I can't take this anymore, keep your 50 thousand dollars"!!

Well it happened.  The creator of the Game "Flappy Bird"  pulled it out of the App Store and Google Play on Sunday.

USA today reports, Nguyen Ha Dong asked for "peace," and said the press was "overrating" the success of his game.

"I can call Flappy Bird a success of mine," wrote Nguyen via Twitter on Feb. 8. "But it also ruins my simple life. So now I hate it."

Fans of Flappy Bird who still have the game on their smartphone or tablet can still play. Others who later deleted the game should be able to download the game again by accessing their purchase history on either iTunes or Google Play.

I never heard of it til yesterday. Here it is in case you  missed it..This guy got a really "High" score.

Last week  the game surged to the top of Apple's App Store and Google Play. The game featured a small bird that players flew between green pipes, tapping the touch-screen to keep him airborne. While the game mechanics were simple, moving through the pipes proved very difficult.

During an interview with The Verge last week, Nguyen revealed he was making $50,000 a day from ads displayed within the game.

Flappy Bird also earned scrutiny for its visual design, using green pipes that bear a nearly identical resemblance to those used in the Super Mario Bros. video game series. However, Nguyen insists the game's removal "is not anything related to legal issues."
