Flappy Bird

Postby Scaryfun » Sat Mar 15, 2014 11:23 pm

Seems this free game went viral and was then pulled from apps by creator due to people complaining it was too addicting. Since the guy was making $50,000 a day just from advertisers on the game, he should be given some award for putting people's mental health above his profits. Except...now there are a bunch of clones of the game which are reaping the profits instead. :omg:

That pretty much sums up the current sad state of video gaming industry I suppose.

Especially mobile.
