Een schockerend bericht van Dong Nguyen, maker van de razendpopulaire app Flappy Bird, werd op Twitter meegedeeld. Flappy bird zal binnen enkele uren niet langer te downloaden zijn.

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.

I also don’t sell ‘Flappy Bird’, please don’t ask.
— Dong Nguyen (@dongatory) February 8, 2014

And I still make games.

Naar verluidt zou de maker maar liefst 50.000 dollar per dag verdienen aan de getoonde advertenties. Als je Flappy Bird wil proberen, raden we je aan om de app snel nog te downloaden.
