Flappy Bird

I'll sell mine to you for $80,000, just because I like your face.

Not everyone's sole purpose in life is to make money ;)

No, but it certainly helps pay the bills unless you live in a forest.

People were telling him his game sucked and that he ripped off Mario with the art style. The usual internet douche baggery. Not the sort of thing to give up that money over.

At $50k a day, just buy a thicker skin. Or hire someone to respond to every message with go smurf yourself. Who cares, you're making $50k a day?!

Well if I was making $50k a day but getting daily death threats, I'd be happy to throw it in after the first 5 million dollars (or 100 days). No need to be greedy

I've got an iPhone 4S with Flappy Bird installed PLUS... a high score of 160.

Bids start at 200,000

Yep, just need to get killed for a 100 days and then you have your whole life ahead of you to sit pretty.

I heard that his reasons for taking it down were "it's ruining my life" (I think that's the exact quote I heard on the radio).

From the earlier discussion about it, I was just figuring that he had played it. That seemed to be the standard reaction.

He recently came out saying he took it down because it encouraged addictive and abusive personalities when playing it. He seems to have a fairly sound game design philosophy, and he just couldn't live with himself to have a game like that out in the public.

I'm not sure if that's the exact reason, but that's what he's said and that's the only reason we'll every get.

Although I do feel bad for the guy getting so many death threats for taking it down. Some people really need a to get a grasp on reality.

He's got a point, though.
