How do you feel about the Flappy Bird creator killing the app for our sakes?

Another episode of completely unnecessary outrage and aggression from the gaming community. I liked Robert Yang's writeup[www.blog.radiator.debacle.us] (which is where I saw that tweet). The power of angry morons on the internet is really sad.

I still have the app installed on my phone. People are buying phones with it for tens of thousands of dollars.

This is the internet where vitriol trash rains supreme. While I disliked this game myself, no man deserves to be harassed and Nintendo has said repeatedly they did not contact Apple nor moved with any copyright claims, so that should have been the end of it, leaving the game to live or die on it's own merits.

I doubt that "bird" is even a bird. If my memory serves me correctly, it's a sprite of a fish.

[peppermint hollows]

Never even heard of it previously.

No one is buying phones for "tens of thousands of dollars" for it, that's completely and utterly rediculous. It violates Ebay's user agreements, and on Amazon, the most money of a phone with it was no more than 300 dollars.

I don't know, but people are selling:

That's not even true. Just try and find a phone with Flappy Bird being sold for ten thousand dollars.

TL;DR is that the creator of Flappy Bird took down his app because he felt that too many people were getting addicted to it.

we found a iphone with it on amazon for 900

[Mr. Tesseract]

it seems weird to me that the guy felt obligated to take it down because ppl were becoming addicted but he put it up for free so maybe thats true. such a simple game but its so frustrating alot of ppl just cant put it down.

But why no use an apk?
