I am sorry 'Flappy Bird' users, 22 hours from now, I will take 'Flappy Bird' down. I cannot take this anymore.

Nguyen went on to eliminate from speculation one possible reason for the app's abrupt departure:
It is not anything related to legal issues. I just cannot keep it anymore.

He also made it clear he has no plans to sell the Flappy franchise:
I also don't sell 'Flappy Bird', please don't ask.

...and assured fans he isn't giving up on being a game developer:
And I still make games.

I don't get it.
Dong, buddy. Be reasonable. You're making $50 grand a day on bouncing little cluster of pixels that (sort of) resembles a bird-ish creature.
Why not just let Flappy fly and collect the advertising paychecks?
This whole thing just doesn’t seem to add up. I doubt we’ve heard the last of Dong Nguyen and Flappy Bird.
