FLAPPY BIRD CREATOR CITES ADDICTION FOR PULLING GAME

"It was just too addictive," Nguyen Ha Dong said. He said he didn't intend for people to play the game for hours at a time, as many game addicts appear to have done.

"I just wanted to create a game that people could enjoy for a few minutes," he said.

"That was the main negative. So I decided to take it down," he said.

In an email interview, Nguyen Dong says the response prompted him to pull Flappy Bird from Apple's App Store and Google Play on Sunday despite it being the most popular free mobile game on Earth.
