Finds Flappy Bird relaxing. Rage quits Dark Souls.Originally Posted by Pike
You're right, I don't get it.
And I honestly doubt the game will be gone long if the reports of him making $50,000 a day from it are accurate. Unless there actually is any legal action as a result of him basically ripping off Mario's art style. Either way I won't mourn it's loss. Played the game for 5 minutes because Pike liked it and was bored senseless.
I don't get how anyone making $50,000 a day would want to put an end to that source of revenue. I jump out of my seat from just making a dollar.
I'd gladly take all the flak he's been getting to make that kind of dough.

So would I. What was his reason, again? From what I heard, it sounded like people were so mad at Flappy Bird that they were sending him complaints? What the smurf guys xD

Is this like Phil Fish syndrome? Or maybe even Kurt Cobain syndrome.. Not entirely sure if I'm kidding or not. But whatever
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?!
Yeah, something suss happening there. Wouldn't surprise me if he was doing something dodgy, considering how a game like that made it to the top of the charts so fast (especially without any form of marketing what-so-ever).
Also I think Nintendo would have definitely had a case against his use of their IP (misrepresentation, leveraging off their success, etc.), hell King has no trouble doing that just over a name alone.

I cannot believe he would throw it in over some insults, so it must be preemptive in order to avoid lawsuits. I hope he was making what they claim; that should be comfortable for a while and help pay for legal fees if it does go that way.
WELL WHAT ELSE WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO
The fact that this is no longer available really makes me want to play it. Great marketing ploy!

It's okay Del, others are trying to capitalize on it by creating clones - I believe Flappy Bee seems to be doing the best on the iTunes store.

yall are forgetting that vietnam is basically the mexico of asia
if you were making 50k a day and everyone knew who you were/your name and you lived in mexico would you want to keep making 50k a day
"immigrate to america" is not a real answer, btw
asia is like the mexico of earth

Didn't know he was from Vietnam. Probably because I didn't really care.
