Flappy Bird Creator To Take Game Down Tomorrow

Dong Nguyen, creator of the surprise mobile mega-hit Flappy Bird, has stated on Twitter that he plans to remove his game from distribution tomorrow.

I am sorry 'Flappy Bird' users, 22 hours from now, I will take 'Flappy Bird' down. I cannot take this anymore.

According to his follow up tweets, there have been no legal actions taken against him for the alleged use of art assets from Super Mario Bros., and the decision is entirely personal. Said Nguyen in another tweet, "I can call 'Flappy Bird' is a success of mine. But it also ruins my simple life. So now I hate it." He went on to say that he plans on continuing to make games. Flappy Bird is reportedly making the Vietnam-based developer around $50,000 a day in ad revenue.
