Maj: The author of Flappy Bird explains the withdrawal of the game

MAJ 2: In an interview with Forbes, the developer
explains this withdrawal which has caused a lot of ink to flow. The reason is
the addiction generatedwhich he could no longer bear to be
responsible. Find the interview
here on Forbes

MAJ 1: According to the Wall Street Journal, Nintendo denies
information and would have nothing to do with the removal of Flappy Birds from the App
Store. The mystery remains

The 'Flappy Birds' affair will therefore have shaken
the little mobile planet in recent days. First simple little successful game
which has managed to rise to the top of the App Store in many countries,
Flappy Birds has made a lot of noise through its
developer.

High point of the story, the announcement this weekend ofpure withdrawal and
simpleof the game from the App Store without any other explanation than that of a
developer who would have difficulty withstanding the pressure of such
success.

As a result, rumors trying to explain this sudden withdrawal are multiplying
just like the clones of the game who try to take the place left free by
Flappy Birds :

Today, Flappy Birds has indeed disappeared from the App Store and some
looking for explanations. The Apple'nApps site believes it holds the true
reason for this sudden withdrawal and, according to them, Nintendo would not be there
stranger.

The site claims thatNintendo would not have looked very favorably
the tribute to Mariothrough the green pipes that we
we all recognized and of which the developer himself had claimed to have
inspired. Seeing this as a blatant violation of 'copyrights', Nintendo
would then have contacted Apple to request the withdrawal of the successful application.
Difficult to verify this information, Apple not having commented for the
moment. Since then Nintendo has denied the information.

If some mourn the disappearance of Flappy Birds,others there
see a great opportunitythis is how Flappy clones
Birds are fighting to grab the top spots in the App Store. At the moment
where I am writing this article, it is also
Fly Birdie – Flappy Bird Flyerwhich occupies first place in the ranking
free apps. Others like
Flappy Beeor
Flappy Planeare in ambush.

If Flappy Birds is no longer available on the App Store,he is
still possible to play it if the app is installed on the iPhoneor
even if it was done through the purchase tab of the App Store.

For others, the only solution is to buy one of
these iPhones put on saleon eBay
at a golden price. Certainly it’s worth it…
