Flappy Bird Relaunch and Crypto Integration Denied by Developer
Dong Nguyen, the developer of the popular mobile game Flappy Bird, has denied plans to relaunch the game and stated that he does not support cryptocurrency. This comes after a group called "Flappy Bird Foundation" announced that they had acquired the rights to the game and would relaunch it in 2025 with "Web3 gaming" elements such as play-to-earn and airdrops. Nguyen took to X (formerly Twitter) to clarify that he has not sold any rights to Flappy Bird and is not associated with the "Flappy Bird Foundation." He also reiterated that he does not support cryptocurrency. The original Flappy Bird game was released in 2013 and became a global phenomenon, but it was removed from app stores in 2014 due to concerns over its addictiveness. The game's simple yet challenging gameplay made it popular with players of all ages. The news of Flappy Bird's potential relaunch has sparked excitement among fans of the game. However, Nguyen's denial has cast doubt on the legitimacy of the "Flappy Bird Foundation" and their plans.
