He’s just one man with no PR representation, and he may not fully comprehend the scale of what he’s announced.

Update (12AM): Well, I thought there’d be some new bit of information about this by the end of the day, but Dong Nguyen has gone silent and isn’t responding to requests for comment from what I can tell. In the meantime, feel free to suggest your own theories about what exactly is going on here. I’ll post updates if any further information comes to light. This all seems very strange, and the story is still developing as we speak. These are typical mobile games problems, and the fact that Flappy Bird has been so popular only reinforces the idea that other developers should try to clone their way to the top of the charts. The art and sound effects are taken almost directly from Super Mario Bros, while the bird design and tap mechanics are from 2011′s Piou Piou. The idea is lifted from a thousand other similar games before it. While no one deserves personal threats or attacks (if that’s what’s happening), I think criticism of the game or his design of it is valid. I’m not sure I see Nguyen as an entirely sympathetic figure here. Still, I’ve never seen anything like this. So now I hate it.” Perhaps this really is just an ordinary guy who will do anything to shed the spotlight that was inadvertently cast on him by the public. That said, I’m sure he’s seen negative things said about him or the game elsewhere on the internet, and one hurtful comment can offset a hundred uplifting ones.Ī tweet from Nguyen earlier today says “I can call ‘Flappy Bird’ is a success of mine. I was hard pressed to find actual hate-filled comments responding to any of his tweets, even in his most recent ones about taking the game down. The majority of his Twitter interactions are actually positive conversations with individual fans, thanking them for their support or answering their questions. Is this really just a guy who can’t cope with sudden fame and success, or is something else going on here? Is there really a level of internet vitriol that can make someone simply throw away $50,000 a day? I suppose with the amount of flack Nguyen has taken, it can wear on someone, but why delete Flappy Bird and not his other popular, also simplistic titles? If his other games become even more popular and are subsequently also criticized, will he take those down too?

He also says he’s not interested in selling Flappy Bird, and he still makes other games, many of which are also quite popular on the Android and iOS app stores. It would be understandable if say, Nintendo was suing him for ripping off their art, but he claims that isn’t the case. This sort of move is perplexing as Nguyen is reported to be bringing in $50,000 a day from in-app advertising revenue.
