As a seasoned gamer with over a decade of gaming under my belt, I can’t help but feel a pang of nostalgia when I hear about the return of Flappy Bird. However, the news that it’s not the original creator behind this comeback leaves me feeling a bit flat, much like trying to navigate a pipe with a bird that refuses to flap properly.
Since 2013, when Flappy Bird was introduced on mobile platforms, it quickly became popular. Now, it appears that a company separate from its original creator plans to exploit the game’s popularity for an extended period. More recently, a new version of Flappy Bird has emerged in the mobile market, but it is not Dong Nguyen, the game’s creator, who is re-introducing it. Instead, another group has acquired the rights to Flappy Bird and is reportedly incorporating cryptocurrency marketing into the game. This venture has no connection to Nguyen and he does not endorse it.
2025, I’m thrilled to share some exciting news as a gaming enthusiast! Back in 2025, a team called The Flappy Bird Foundation announced the comeback of everyone’s favorite mobile game, Flappy Bird. A bit of digging revealed that the rights had been purchased by a company named Gametech Holdings, probably because the original creator, Nguyen, was inactive regarding the IP license and didn’t obstruct its sale. Since then, Flappy Bird has been making headlines frequently, leading to Nguyen himself refuting any association with it on social media.
No, I have no related with their game. I did not sell anything.
I also don’t support crypto.— Dong Nguyen (@dongatory) September 15, 2024
Dong Nguyen stated that he has no connection or involvement with their game, neither did he sell anything nor does he endorse cryptocurrency.
To put it simply, Nguyen, the creator of Flappy Bird, has generally shown minimal interest in the game after its initial success. Back then, Flappy Bird was earning $50,000 daily due to its popularity. However, the extreme addiction some players developed and the problems that arose from its massive success caused stress for Nguyen. In 2014, he surprised everyone by removing Flappy Bird from circulation and retreating from public attention. Since then, he’s been involved in gaming projects, but many attempts to replace Flappy Bird failed. Recently, a new official version of Flappy Bird has caused a stir. Exploration of the game’s website by The Verge indicates that it’s being developed with Web 3 technology and hints of cryptocurrency integration.
Without a doubt, the creator of the original Flappy Bird is not involved in the newly released game, and it appears he prefers to keep it that way. Keep an eye out for more developments; we’ll keep you updated with the newest news about the new Flappy Bird game right here on Shacknews.
