Flappy Bird Creator Critiques Crypto Firm's Actions
Dong Nguyen, known for creating Flappy Bird, expressed disapproval of a new version allegedly supported by a crypto firm. He took to social media to clarify that he neither sold rights to the game nor endorses cryptocurrency.
The Legacy of Flappy Bird
