The Original Flappy Bird Creator Speaks Out Over Game Returning as a ‘Crypto Scam’

As a seasoned Flappy Bird enthusiast who has spent countless hours trying to achieve that elusive high score, I was initially thrilled at the prospect of the game making its grand return after a decade-long absence. However, upon closer inspection, it seems that something fishy is going on with the new version of Flappy Bird.

Earlier this week, there was a buzz in the community of mobile gamers due to news from CNET about Flappy Bird coming back after a ten-year absence. Yet, enthusiasts of the original game were quick to express doubts, with some speculating that it might be a disguised crypto scam.

A scant few days following the public announcement, the inventor of Flappy Bird, Dong Nguyen, voiced his thoughts on Twitter. Nguyen clarified that he has no involvement in any related games, hasn’t sold anything, and does not endorse cryptocurrencies.

From my gaming perspective, it’s been confirmed through legal documents that the rights to the Flappy Bird trademark were taken by Gametech Holdings LLC due to inactivity from my side (Nguyen). Essentially, this gives them control over the game, allowing them to make decisions as they see fit. Now, here’s a twist that caught my attention – it appears there might be cryptocurrency integration when the game comes back online, based on some hidden pages found on the Flappy Bird website.

Flappy Bird’s classic version has returned and is set to reach new heights on the Solana platform as it takes flight in the realm of web 3.0. This exciting adventure invites you to design, innovate, engage, and even earn by staking your ownership.

The new proprietors of Flappy Bird haven’t made an official statement regarding the accusations, but since the game’s comeback was announced, a representative expressed their enthusiasm by saying, “We can hardly contain our excitement about reviving Flappy Bird and offering something new that will captivate players for years. We have grand ideas for our feathered friend!
