"Flappy Bird" the truth-because of guilt or repeated death threats?

The Flappy Bird, a Vietnamese man who has been playing the game in mobile games around the world, has put it out of the APP store and said the shelves are not a legal factor. Flappy Bird a day later, game developer Nanhadon (Dong Nguyen) finally appeared ...

But look forward to Flappy Bird back to the shelves of players must be disappointed, now behind the Nanhadon to the "Forbes" clearly said: Flappy Bird will not return.

"Design Flapp Bird's original intention is that people can play for a few minutes while relaxing." Unfortunately, it is now an addictive product. I think this has become a problem. In order to solve this problem, the best way is to let Flappy Bird. Now it will never come back again. ”

Forbes interviewed Nanhadon at a hotel in Hanoi, Vietnam, where scheduled interviews were delayed for hours as Nanhadon was temporarily asked to meet with morality, the chief of staff at the Vietnamese Government. For a man who was unknown a week ago, the changes Flappy Bird brought to him were indeed big enough.

This is only part of the Flappy Bird after the boom brought another change is the increase in income. Previous media speculated that Flappy Bird could bring about 50,000 dollars a day in advertising revenue, although Nanhadon refused to verify the figure. "I don't know the exact number, but I knew it would be a big number," he said. ”

Flappy Bird first landed at the app Store last May 24, with very few players at the beginning. Nanhadon said that the process of writing Flappy Bird only took him two or three days, game play is very simple--the player clicks on the screen to manipulate the bird, let it through the narrow gap between the pipe-but very difficult, many players have not been through a few water pipes, one by one killed in the green pipe.

In addition to Flappy Bird, Nanhadon has developed Super Ball juggling and shuriken block two games, which are ranked 6th and 8th in the APP Store respectively. Nanhadon says he's not going to frame them because these two games are "harmless". But if he finds that players are also increasingly addicted to these games, he will not hesitate to put them down-as they do with Flappy Bird.

"I can't sleep. "Nanhadon said guilt is the main reason for his Flappy Bird," (I Feel) life is not as easy and comfortable as it used to be. ”

"I don't think it's a mistake. "Nanhadon not regret the Bird of the Flappy," he said, "and I thought about it carefully." ”

The popularity of Flappy Bird spawned a number of Shanzhai games, like Flappy Pig, Flappy Fish and other games. Nanhadon says he may not take legal action on these copycat works. In the future he plans to continue to develop the game, Flappy Bird's success has made him very confident, "I am free to do anything I want to do." ”

However, the American Science and Technology blog Business Insider gave another version of the "Flappy Bird," the reason behind the frame, is the game after the red, Nanhadon often received some death threats, therefore unbearable pressure.

"Flappy Bird" has become a phenomenon, and Nanhadon every day to make 50,000 dollars (about 303,000 yuan), which for every game developer, can be said to be a dream come true moment. But it is not true for Nanhadon, because the difficulty of the game and the characteristics of the difficult to extricate, so that it has produced a lot of controversy.

"Flappy Bird" although very easy to start, but it is difficult to grasp, people for the score to let the birds live longer to enjoy. Even more puzzling joke, the player will be because of this lets the person to be mad the game to be violent, recently has a piece of player "Flappy Bird" "tortured" and smash the mobile phone video in the network Crazy biography.

The pressure on Nanhadon is conceivable, but what makes him mad is that he has received "death threats" and "suicide warnings" from some people. These senders are in two camps, some people because the game is too difficult, threatened to kill Nanhadon and then quickly, the other part of the people heard that the game will be the next frame, and commit suicide to coerce Nanhadon continue the game's operations.

One of the players was basking in a picture on Twitter (pictured above) in which a woman put a pistol in her mouth and attached a sentence: "If you put the game down, I'll die for you." With this double pressure, it is not difficult to imagine Nanhadon is in what mood to say, "I have been unable to endure" this sentence.
