Flappy Bird Returns Back but now with microtransactions

[Relinquish]

Now many people including myself thought that they were going to bring the original version, but no, they're making a whole new game, filled with microtransactions

IGN also showed some screenshots from the game and they don't look good


Also WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS

Flappy Bird Art is the simplest shit in the world, how do you fuck it up?????

It's main claim to fame is the fact that the creator took it down when it became a fad. It's not a product worth forming a "Flappy Bird Foundation Group" over

You're not going to get a bunch of people buying shit that's barely out of nostalgia reasons, not when it's freely available online and when it's something this simple to play. Has there been genuine nostalgia for the likes of Farmville? I think not.
Just further proof that there is truly nothing original in gaming anymore.

ain't they clever? they know stupid kids spend too much time and money on mobile trash.

"Returning to iOS and Android in 2025"? How the fuck long does it take to develop a clone of a game that was already student-project level complexity?

All I know is that the guy for some stupid reason shoot himself in the foot and missed out on potentially millions, with ad money, by not seizing when it became a meme and was the biggest thing on the internet. He did the equivalent of getting a winning lottery ticket, and burn it out of pettyness.

He must have a lot of regret, and bills, but it's too late by now. The fad is over, and everyone has moved on. If he hadn't been such a killjoy, he would've been set for life.

I never understood the obsession with this game.

I never understood the obsession with this game.

It's a silly way to kill time on public transportation. Video games nowadays are so badly designed that this is an accomplishment.

Time wasters like that have existed for a long time, it still doesn't explain the obsession with Flappy Bird, i'm sure there must have been games with the exact same gameplay before it, but Flappy Bird exploded upon normies like crazy because....

And there's a bunch of clones anyway. Why pay for microtransactions? I hate this model. There must be a hell of a lot of whales out there.

Oh gee whiz, you think?

The fact that people give up their entire life savings for Gacha #6757634378356 that winds up getting terminated years down the road wasn't a clue?

The guy who made it was some Vietnamese autistic introvert, so it makes sense why he bailed on the chance. Also, apparently he was being stalked by "the media" when it became popular, so his parents encouraged him to take it down.

There was, I remember playing a Java applet game called Helicopter on school computers back in middle school that had the exact same gameplay. I still think the reason the dev took Flappy Bird down was that he was under scrutiny for stolen art assets and using bots to get trending on the App Store.

I doubt it was more than a few journalists trying to report on the newest fad. Wouldn't have lasted more than a few weeks at worst. Even then I much doubt it was worth all the money he lost. Millions in ad revenue lost is not an understatement. It was huge. Weren't his parents aware of that?

Preparing all the microtransactions and the Candy Crush-like UIs for the seniors to overload themselves to, duh.

I never understood the obsession with this game.

It was the latest ragebait game for people to throw and break their phones with. That's at least how I saw one of the contributions to its popularity.

 

[KosherFarms.net]

He only deleted flappy bird because he stole Nintendo's assets and was scared of being ass raped by them for it. Pretty sure he was also making thousands of dollars per day while it was blowing up too.

because a bunch of articles were written about it, because it was such a profoundly shitty and poorly-made game in an era where mobile games were setting new lows every day that it became content bait

"this game sucks, why does it have so many downloads?" -> people download the game to see it for themselves -> "this game sucks, why does it have so many downloads?" -> people download the game to see it for themselves -> "this game sucks, why does it have so many downloads?" -> people download the game to see it for themselves -> "Flappy Bird is the new sensation taking the internet by storm!"

Hopefully they add some diverse and inclusive skins to the game's store so that all the peoples who played it 10 years ago can feel seen and appreciated, for a reasonable price, of course.
