Flappy Bird to relaunch without creator Dong Nguyen’s backing amid rights dispute
A decade after Flappy Bird was removed from app stores, an organization called The Flappy Bird Foundation announced plans to relaunch the Game.
However, creator Dong Nguyen clarified yesterday that he is not involved with the project.
In a brief statement, Nguyen emphasized, “I did not sell anything,” and expressed opposition to cryptocurrency, stating, “I also don’t support crypto.”
The foundation claims to have acquired rights from Gametech Holdings, LLC, which reportedly terminated Nguyen’s trademark for Flappy Bird.
While the group’s materials make no mention of cryptocurrency, researchers uncovered references to the game’s integration with Solana, suggesting potential Web 3.0 features.
Nguyen’s comments indicate he is not associated with the relaunch and is seemingly unhappy with the developments.
Flappy Bird, a relatively simple game with retro graphics was first released in 2013; it became a viral hit and the most downloaded app on both the iOS and Android app stores.
However, Nguyen took the app down in February 2014, saying that he could not take this anymore.
