Flappy Bird Creator Distances Himself From Blockchain "Revival"

"I Do Not Support Cryptocurrency": Dong Nguyen Denies Involvement

Nguyen, the creator of the popular mobile game Flappy Bird, released a statement on Twitter on February 8th, 2023, distancing himself from a recent blockchain-based "revival" of the game.

The statement, which was written in Vietnamese but has been translated into English, reads: "I do not support cryptocurrency. Please do not associate me or Flappy Bird with any blockchain-related projects."

Nguyen's statement comes in response to the recent launch of Flappy Bird Infinity, a blockchain-based version of the game that allows players to earn cryptocurrency by playing. The game has been met with mixed reactions, with some fans welcoming the new version and others criticizing it for being a cash grab.

Nguyen's decision to distance himself from Flappy Bird Infinity is likely due to his concerns about the cryptocurrency industry. Cryptocurrency has been criticized for its volatility, its potential for fraud, and its environmental impact.

Nguyen's statement is a reminder that not all game developers are interested in jumping on the blockchain bandwagon. For some developers, the risks associated with blockchain technology outweigh the potential benefits.
