Not a true follow-up from the creator
This version of Flappy Bird isn’t affiliated with the original creator, Dong Nguyen. In fact, an organization called Gametech Holdings LLC reportedly filed to terminate Nguyen’s Flappy Bird trademark and then grabbed it for free, ostensibly resulting in the current game.
Nguyen distanced himself from the new game at its announcement, saying on Twitter that he “did not sell anything,” had nothing to do with this title, and doesn’t support cryptocurrency.
Needless to say, we can see why you’d give this game a wide berth. It might be on legally sound footing, but the creator is seemingly getting the short end of the stick here. Combine the group’s treatment of Nguyen with the previous cryptocurrency links, and I wouldn’t blame you if you think this is a scam.
