(Before It's News)

taking flappy bird downIf you’re generally into trending games, there is no doubt you will have heard about a game called ‘Flappy Bird‘ which shot to the top of the charts over the last few weeks. The premise of the game is devilishly simple: you control a bird and a tap will flap its wings, tapping as you attempt to guide the bird through an endless labyrinth of obstacles. This makes for a simple, yet infuriating, experience which many have already sunk hours into. Apparently though, the stresses of needing to maintain a popular game has gotten to creator Dong Nguyen who tweeted earlier today that he is taking Flappy Bird down today:

It was recently reported that Nguyen was earning up to $50,000 in ad revenue from the game everyday and that he had many requests for improvements to the game, but it looks like that is all coming to an end. The game’s success is one of those viral stories that we all wish happened to us, but we can’t imagine what Nguyen must have experienced over the last few days that must have led him to this decision. There are some theories that Nguyen is simply pulling a publicity stunt to garner even more attention, but this somehow feels genuine to me.

What do you think: Is Nguyen for real and will Flappy Bird go down tomorrow? Let us know your opinion in the comments.
