On February 9th the developer Dong Nguyen has taken down the indie-game hit from the App Store and Google Play. It took us all by surprise. Why would someone making $50,000 per day kill its cash cow? This decision has been talked about a lot in the past few days. The tweet announcing the developer’s decision to take down the game has been retweeted more than 140,000 times and covered on a countless amount of tech blogs all over the world. — Dong Nguyen (@dongatory) February 8, 2014 The reason behind taking down the app was that Dong simply couldn’t handle the attention Flappy Bird was receiving and the money the game was making. He was used to a simple and humble life, so his most recent success rapidly changed it. In other tweets he wrote that he not only wouldn’t sell the app to anyone, but that he doesn’t sell anything he makes at all. Dong neither wanted to sell out, nor change his lifestyle. He stands by his principles. And I think we all should respect his decision. — Dong Nguyen (@dongatory) February 8, 2014
