Flappy Bird’s Launch in the Crypto Space: A Controversial Return
Flappy Bird's New Game: A Controversial Launch
Flappy Bird's new game, launched by the Flappy Bird Foundation, is not connected to its original creator, Dong Nguyen. Nguyen has declined involvement, asserting he hasn't sold any rights. The foundation claims rights were acquired from Gametech Holdings, LLC, which had previously secured the trademark from Nguyen. This came after a trademark dispute that marked Nguyen's own abandonment of his claim.
Nostalgia Meets Crypto
The Flappy Bird Foundation appeals to nostalgia as it announces the game's reintroduction with the tagline, “In 2024, Flappy Bird will fly again.” However, questions linger regarding the game's genuine connection to Nguyen.
- The cybersecurity researcher Varun Biniwale unearthed evidence of a potential crypto integration.
- Previous hidden pages indicated Flappy Bird would operate on Solana, embracing the Web 3.0 framework.
- Players would be invited to engage in actions such as “build, create, play and stake to own.”
Flappy Bird's new venture opens doors to both excitement and skepticism, as the game prepares to launch for iOS and Android. However, this resurgence may not reflect the beloved title many remember from 2013.
