Flappy Bird creator disavows revived game that hints crypto ties
The new owners of the trademark Flappy Bird trademark say it’s coming back, and deleted web pages suggest it could have something to do with crypto.
The original creator of the short-lived mobile game Flappy Bird has distanced himself from a group that claims it’s bringing the game back after a decade hiatus — and some online clues suggest it could have crypto ties.
Dong Nguyen posted to X on Sept. 15 for the first time since 2017 to call out the company planning to re-release the 2013 game after it nabbed the trademark earlier this year.
On Sept. 13, a group calling itself The Flappy Bird Foundation said it was re-releasing Flappy Bird, claiming in an X post that it took “acquiring legal rights and even working with my predecessor” to launch the game.
