I did. The developer was making a lot of money on a very simple game which looked a lot like Mario. Nintendo was probably warning him that they might sue. He was probably getting a lot of hate via email and twitter.

And deservedly so. The fact that so many people got addicted to that piece of shit boggles my mind as well. There's so much mindless rampant idiotic consumerism in this society.

I wouldn't like to be remembered that my most popular game was a clone with no original ideas put into it what-so-ever...that would really fuck up my portfolio if I wanted to get into the games development market seriously.

Yep. Fifty thousand US dollars a day. The reason I specified currency is because the guy lives in Vietnam which has US dollars going a long way.

The game is reasonably stupid.

And the idea of him deleting it because of death threats was also reasonable

However, in the article it says that he tweeted "Not because of them but because how people use my game. They are overusing it." and "Yes. I like it. People are overusing my app :-("

That is where he starts acting unreasonably stupid. He deleted it because people are overusing it? I mean...

I downloaded it a couple days ago because why not. It's just another game. Just another clone. Not worthy or anything gigantically positive or negative.

btw, I went to check my high score and played a few times. my 29 turned into a 53. Get on my level.

Yeah, he might have dropped an extraordinarily high grossing game because he couldn't handle hate-mail or because of some sense of game-dev honor, but I'm betting that he did it for the more logical reasons listed in that article.

I also see the makings of a creepypasta here, nat.

I would say that sounds too stupid to be a creepypasta, but given some of the ones I have seen, just add flaapy had hyper realistic X, and then killed me, and it would sound like a real one.

Me, I have to pay for my own phone service, so I always have cheap shitty cell-phones and I'm perfectly happy with them. I get really sick of hearing about all the stupid games out there and all the hype over such simple things.

And i loose my shit whenever I see "Angry Birds" merchandise at the stores.


Seriously?

I enjoyed it because it was challenging.

My high score is 19.
