Your death came too soon (or not soon enough)

RIP, Flappy Bird

Flappy Bird, the ultra-hard ultra-viral game that swept the internet by storm, is no more. Flappy Bird’s developer Dong Nguyen announced that due to the success of his game, he was going to delete it from the App Store. Less than 24 hours later, he made good on his promise.

Just another frustrating prank on players? Or did Nguyen just get overwhelmed and stressed by the success of his game? We may never know.
