iGR: "Word from Flappy Bird‘s developer maintains that keeping up with the game’s popularity is ruining his simple life. Therefore he’s removing it from digital distribution tomorrow. But the truth is, he may be in legal trouble."
When a game released exclusively digitally disappears from distribution, it becomes impossible to play it legally. Actually, quite a few gems have disappeared in this manner, with the legendary P.T. being just the beginning of the story.
Nice message and physical should always be supported, but I am not supporting this article being set across like nine pages.
Using Overwatch Workshop, Thriver9 has created an Overwatch rendition of the popular Flappy Bird game.
FlappyBird, one of the most infamous games in recent history is still a game that’s being played nowadays. The newest software update to iPhone’s Operative System will be incompatible with Flappybird.
Its a 32bit app. iOS 11 is only compatible with 64bit apps.
App developers have been informed for the last 2 years that they need to update their apps to avoid this problem.
Customeers have been made aware with every new firmware update but no one reads patch notes.
lol its very similar
There has to be something fishy about why out of the blue he wants to pull out the game. I mean its becoming a popular one so why would someone walk away from so much money?
Its flappy bird and green tubes are also carbon copies of the ones in Super Mario Bros, but does it matter? Do they actually affect each other in any way? I really hope there's not some legal BS behind this because none of them actually affect the other ones in any way. It's just like Candy Crush and the Banner Saga, they don't even affect each other in any way, so there should be no ramifications. Things are getting too loose with restrictions, rules and regulations now. I understand we need to have them, but there needs to be a line 'cause this is absurd.
I'm not saying that that's why he pulled this game, I don't know why that happened. I'm just sayin' to expect more games gettin pulled if people start gettin' away with trivial lawsuits, "Your clouds look similar to my clouds, you need to yank your game or I'm taking you to court" kinda stuff..
Couldn't someone basically do the same thing to Flappy Bird after he removes it from the store and bring in a bit of money for themselves based on his success.
Like you could call it Mr Flappy involving a fat man with a moustache and monocle who has home made wings strapped to his arms and you try to avoid the obstacles in his path. Same concept, different skin.
I mean I know you would be "copying" his idea but even then if your getting half of what he's making a day you'd still be rolling in it.
When looking at this I can't help being reminded of all those school breaks I sunk into 'Helicopter Game'. Must be nearly a decade since I last loaded this thing up. Memories!
