    Flappy Bird was generating an estimated $50,000 daily just off in game advertisements

    My Missus wanted to know what all the fuss was about so I got a copy of Flappy Birds and here it is on one of our Shanzhai tablets...

    this is classic hipster flavor of the month casual gaming hype, no one will play it in 6 months time, the psy of gaming, maybe Nintendo should hire this Vietnamese whizkid to kickstart their dwindling Nintendo wii u console demand ( against the dominate sony's ps4 and ms xbox one) as well it's probably their target market

    unlike real classic gaming which can hold the test of time after 20-25 years and still be good

    It was never meant to be 'classic' gaming. It was designed to be exactly what it is, an entertaining time waster, employed until the next time- waster comes along. A role for which it is a good fit.

    Indeed, it appears that the threat of it hanging round for a good few years is why the developer removed it.

    a few years, more like the next 3 months, look what is happening to Zynga ( creator of once massively popular Farmville and draw something after their flavor of month became stale)

    however, if it appears to senior citizens, hipsters and kids, then that's great for them

    maybe someone should create a simulation game about buying the perfect kettle, aspects such as how the kettle must be placed at ideal line of sight for potential customers, whether halogen/led focal lighting is needed to enhance gleaming aspect of point of sales for this kettle, ideal distance and location to place rival kettles, physical and natural properties of the kettle housing's material and it's attributes to one's kitchen , indepth specifications of kettle heating element in conjunction variation of environment and ideal water temperature and boiling point, brief explanation of design and colour aspect considering the unique hydrogen bonding aspect of water in conjunction to anomalous high evaporation point compared to it's comparative compounds within the periodic table thus justifying it's 300 quid pricemark

    , I'm only pulling your leg!
