Sunday, Flappy bird has been removed from the app stores and there's no intention of bringing it back due to controversy. Because of this, phones with the game installed are worth at least $1000. Prices skyrocketed for high demand for flappy bird. What's your thought on this?

My phone is worth $1,000? SWEET, anybody who wants flappy bird, let me know, i'll be happy to see it to you

Brigand : Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it had something to do with Nintendo, I dunno.

My phone is worth a thousand or so dollars now? Awesome! Well, Flappy Bird is a weird, yet strangely addicting game, even though I'm not good at it. I'm glad I installed it when I did.

Something is only worth what someone will pay for it.  I'll be you would be hard pressed to find many people willing to play this much for a game, especially since the game play ideas the game has are out there and will undoubtedly show up in other games now.

Matthew2321 :

I have no idea. I read the article posted and didn't say much but looked like a bit of rip off of something they came up with once, yes.

Eh, I actually think Flappy Bird is a pretty fun game. A little difficult, but it is worth playing at least to me. But what do I know I am just a standard guy.

Dem pipes. Nintendo sued the creator for the usage of the pipes. (he made 5 grand a day) But he took it down because it was getting rid of his simple life. This is what he said btw. I actually saw someone play it today.

paper luigi : Nintendo even said they had nothing to do with it. It actually made 50 000 dollars a day from just ad revenue.

The creator was just having death threats constantly so he removed it.

This post is pointless and lacks depth, it makes no logical point other than this users distaste for the game and was less than even 20 words long.

paper luigi : I am pretty sure Nintendo had nothing to do with the removal of flappy bird. It was just because Dong Nguyen wanted a simple life and the game took that away from him. Nevertheless, $50 000 is incredible.

I downloaded it a few days ago, and spent like 5 mins playing it before I deleted it(For Android). There's a million of those "fly and try to survive" games out there on the net...not quite sure why someone would pay that much money for that game. Go to newgrounds...there's like a million of the same exact game to play FOR FREE.

Also, I would like to point out that the game is still available for download on Google Play store.

I believe that there has been controversy about the government accessing people's personal information through Flappy Birds. Some people have complained about it, and I think I read an article somewhere about it, so the guy decided to take it down.

Why would Nintendo be involved in this?

megamanmaniac : Nintendo was thought to be involved because the pipes resemble the sprites like in Super Mario Bros. I never heard of that first part though, although it seems like that might have been something with Angry Birds.
   It's absolutely crazy that not only was the guy getting death threats for a stupid game, but that people are willing to pay that much money, or any money for that matter for it. Like Jordan pointed out, there are so many games just like it. What makes this one so special?

A lot of the people on this site seem to have some crazy notions as to what happened. He isn't getting sued and the sprites have nothing to do with it.

His issue just seems to be that the game just became too popular and he was getting asked to do interviews and all sorts of crazy stuff that he really wasn't expecting for such a simple game. Sounds like he didn't like the attention and all of that.

Not only that, he's still going to make money on it from ad revenue and whatnot.

Still available to download on Google Play btw.

Here's some articles that help shed some light.
