But it’s unclear whether the original creator of Flappy Bird, Dong Nguyen, is a part of the game’s relaunch.
The Flappy Bird Foundation said it acquired the rights to the game from Gametech, LLC, which isn’t associated with Nguyen.
Why would he want to be part of it? Didn’t it really fuck up his life? Wasn’t that part of why he took it offline??
Seems like everyone else’s happy memories of it make them seem to forget that this was not a happy moment for him.
In the article they make clear that the rights to it wasn’t bought from Nguyen, speaking to the idea that’s he’s already sold the rights to Flappy Bird before, and likely has no interest in returning to it.
I can call ‘Flappy Bird’ is a success of mine. But it also ruins my simple life. So now I hate it. It is not anything related to legal issues. I just cannot keep it anymore. I also don’t sell ‘Flappy Bird’, please don’t ask.

This is what Nguyen said when he took it down.
And the game kind of sucked.
