Why Flappy Bird Shut Down…

Back in 2014, Flappy Bird was the biggest game of the year and people were absolutely loving it. But, fast forward a few weeks later and the creator of the game decided to shut it down. Why would he do this? And how has the game changed since then?

If I’m not wrong, he did that because he got backlash from people and that’s why he started hating his creation.

It's not because of how addictive it was its because the game was so frustrating that people would send death threats to him and he couldn't take it any more even though he was making 50, 000 Dollars AN DAY!! But he still took it off :(

Death threats wasn't fair for a popular creator like this 😢

[darkespeon]

That's kinda respectful but as a game collector and lover it be disappointing to lose a game especially one so popular yet simplistic

[MrTimPL]

Fun fact: there is game called "Flappy Crush and it has game mode with oryginal Flappy Bird

[mikeschlager]

I still have the og flappy brid on my old iPod but sadly apple sucks and I have no way to change it. Thanks apple

[skaffatar]

I heard a story that someone killed himself because of the game and that was the reason it got shut down. Never knew if it was true

[sethemmanuelleborja]

No, it's because he got sued by the creators of Super Mario because he used obstacles that is used by the legendary game. So that y he deleted his creation, he chose freedom than get be in jail😅

And when it was taken down, people were selling their devices with that game installed for up to 2000 USD regardless of model
