The maker of flappy birds has decided to re release the game. The game was officially taken down of February 8.
"One month after Dong took Flappy Bird off the app store over 1000 clones have copied him. The app
store has been inundated with replicas and clones of the app.
"Flappy Bird has changed the face of mobile gaming forever and I could not agree more with
Dong's decision to bring it back to the app store" says Dale Carr, CEO and founder of LeadBolt.
"Commercially it's a smart decision as it gives Dong the opportunity to develop the app further. He
is clearly getting ripped off by all the clones so it's definitely a good move to bring it back to the store.
At the height of its popularity, Flappy Bird was earning Dong more than $50,000 per day, and even
after he removed it from the App Store, the game has continued earning him money.
"In its absence, hundreds of Flappy Bird clone apps have been released on the App Store, each one
attempting to earn some of the revenue Dong was generating," Dale says.
"Our lawyers have said that in their opinion, Dong can stop the replicas and retro-seize all the
income they have generated from copying his idea," says Dale.
