Flappy Bird Gone from Appstores

By Bryan Rilloraza February 10, 2014

Good bye Flappy Bird. I guess he really did mean it. Dong Nguyen pulled the plug on the popular and frustrating game.

There were no legal issues, and I guess he didn’t mind losing $50,000 a day in ad revenues. Maybe he’ll bring it back, maybe he won’t. It was fun for awhile. Now, we move on to the next “Flappy Bird” that will come.
