Developer Dong Nguyen has followed through with his threat to take down his mega-popular game, Flappy Bird, which is no longer available on the iTunes App Store or Google Play as of Sunday afternoon. Nguyen had previously said that he would take the game down over the weekend for reasons unknown. On Twitter, Nguyen, whose surprise hit is making $50,000 a day in ad revenue, said that he "cannot take this anymore" and would remove the game in 22 hours, or midday Sunday. He ruled out a couple of the most obvious potential explanations, saying that there were no legal problems (Nintendo corroborated as much), the game had not been acquired, and he had not quit making games.
