Flappy Bird is kept simple, but extremely successful – financially. Nevertheless, the developer wants to take the game from the App Store.

People not using mobile devices for games, but primarily for such bizarre things such as telephoning, has perhaps never heard of Flappy Bird . Anyone who handles differently, is determined pushed ever been to the free game for Android and iOS with the look in Super Mario style. Ever since about the beginning of the year Flappy Bird is considered the most likely successful free app per se. She is currently installed alone about 50 million Android devices and gives the developer Nguyen Ha Dong day about 50,000 U.S. dollars in advertising revenue.

Since it surprised but then, that the man’s game now wants to voluntarily remove it from the app store, as he announced via Twitter. Initially suspected the community that this is the reason to a dispute with Nintendo because of the similarity to the plumber Jump & Run and the company Nguyen Ha Dong warned. The developer denied this claim, however. The move had nothing to do with legal problems, he could “all just simply no longer endure.”

clear that to “all” the same heated discussions arose, what could be meant by that. So some people speculate further that Nguyen Ha Dong would like to see taken because of the possibility, legal consequences the game from the mains. On the other hand, the developer is also considered very introverted. In the past, he said several times that he the huge hype surrounding himself and his game never wanted and he just wants to develop in peace games.

If true, the now launched Action # DontDeleteFlappyBird on Twitter might even be counter-productive. As Nguyen Ha Dong is this petition, he previously could elicit no one: After the announcement, Flappy Bird of the stores have them removed, the developer could turn off his phone. Via Twitter he had just announced that he will continue to develop in the future games and have no interest in the rights to Flappy Bird for sale. You can save it thus equal to ask for it.
