The Shutdown of Flappy Bird

               The Huffington Post's "Creator says game over for maddening Flappy Bird" article was written by Tran Van Minh on February 10, 2014.
               Nguyen Ha Dong, the young Vietnamese creator of the hit mobile game 'Flappy Bird', made a fortune off the app ever since is outburst of popularity in the beginning of this year. However, later he became tormented from the craze the simple, yet addicting and frustrating game brought.
                According to App Developer Magazine, Nguyen hated how everyone overrated his game and only wanted to restore peace. He tweeted, "I can call 'Flappy Bird' is a success of mine. But it also ruins my simple life. So now I hate it".
                Although 'Flappy Bird' was reportedly making $50,000 per day, Nguyen modestly added that he will not even sell the app. He was not even able to enjoy the huge profit he made out off of the viral game.
                 After hearing an immense amount of suicidal tweets and murder cases as effects from 'Flappy Bird', the idea of his own creation had become extremely distasteful to him, even if it brought him wealth. However, violence was not the only factor as a reason for the shutdown. Rumors circulated the internet about the assumed corruption Nguyen participated in. Many thought that he bribed critics to rate his game five stars on the Apple Apps. But as the man said himself, it was all a part of the trash that rotted with 'Flappy Bird' itself.
