Today's most popular and yet annoying game is reportedly, going to be deleted by the developer itself from Apple Store anytime today, February 9, 2014. The game is said to generate $USD 50k a day from ads and already downloaded 50 million times according to online reports.
Honestly I already deleted the game from my iPhone and downloaded it again today after hearing the news just in case it's true.
Pretty much everyone in my school is playing this game. If it is even remotely similar in many other places, then he has done well in the downloads department.
I don't think his success is faked.
In a series of tweets made just minutes ago, Nguyen stated that this move is not due to legal issues, but rather because he “just cannot keep it anymore.” Take a look for yourself…
However, the Developer Dong Nguyen @dongatory tweeted yesterday, february 8, 2014.
I am sorry 'Flappy Bird' users, 22 hours from now, I will take 'Flappy Bird' down. I cannot take this anymore.

It is not anything related to legal issues. I just cannot keep it anymore.
— Dong Nguyen (@dongatory) February 8, 2014
I also don't sell 'Flappy Bird', please don't ask.
— Dong Nguyen (@dongatory) February 8, 2014
And I still make games.
— Dong Nguyen (@dongatory) February 8, 2014But as of this posting it is still available on Apple Store! We are not sure if this is only marketing strategy for the developer, a brilliant marketing tactic... to get more downloads.
