Flappy Bird creator rejects crypto spin-off

Nguyen removed the game from app stores shortly after it became popular, stating that he felt guilty that people were becoming addicted to the game. This makes the game’s resurgence – complete with loot boxes and other addictive features – feel somewhat dark.

On September 15, Nguyen returned from a seven-year hiatus on Twitter to post: “No, I have nothing to do with their game. I didn’t sell anything. I also don’t accept crypto.”

Although Nguyen owned the Flappy Bird trademark, he did not sell it to this group. Instead, they registered the mark themselves after claiming he had abandoned it.
