Throughout the ages , mankind has succumb to really simple games that gets a little bit difficult throughout the game like PAC- Man, or Mario bros. and Angry Birds. Questions that are asked are like "Why do I waste my time with this game, or why is it so simple but gets hard , or also why make the game so simple with no storyline? Well luckily I don't have to answer these question, but I'm going to ask about the the infamous and frustrating game Flappy Bird.
Now Flappy Bird is an overly simple game with the main objective is to just go through as many green pipes as you can, but the most frustrating part about this game is how the bird flies like really. In the beginning of the game he's flying all normal until you tap him then he turns into a little pansy. The game is overly simple but frustrating and plain old stupid. But I have to admit I play this game even though it frustrates me and angers me enough to throw my IPod. Now the game is off the market so everybody that hated the game are keeping it to sell it on EBay for hundreds of dollars. There's a few theories of why the creator took the game off the market
To much publicity: The guy that made the game makes 50,000 dollars a day just on advertisements. Can you believe that! The crazy thing is that this game came out in January and became the most popular game on the market. But I guess he got a lot of attention from the people and got tired of it. There's some other theories that going I'm to get to.
He's getting Sued: In the game your going through green pipes that looks strangely similar to Mario. So when people play it for the first time they automatically assume that it looks like Mario. So the theory is that Nintendo is suing him for that one little thing. Also there's the fact that people with anger issues break their device when they lose.
I guess human nature is greed because when it comes down to it people will sue for anything. They are people out there that are trying to sue him because they broke their own phone because of a game.
Viral Videos: There are videos circulating out in the World Wide Web. These videos usually talk about how to beat the game,but some of them like one I saw that started out with a guy talking about how to cheat in it . Everything is going all normal while he's playing until he died then he cursed and got a hammer and smashed his S4 Smartphone. The vulgarity of his actions made me gape at the screen for a full 30 seconds after the video ended. Another video states how to get invincibility on the game, so he gets on his phone, plays Flappy Bird dies then exits out of the game holds down on the app clicks the x then proceeds to delete the game. The end of the video quotes him saying " Now you never have to worry of losing ever again.
In the end, the game continues to be played and more people break their phone and iPods. The moral of this story is that you shouldn't let a game govern your life. Here's some advice to playing the game. 1) don't play the game when your bored because you won't be that focused and lose. 2) keep a cool head when you play or else you'll end up breaking your device. 3) I know it feels like your fighting gravity when you play the game but just let yourself fall. 4) don't over do it with the tapping, basically what I'm implying. 5) Don't get distracted , don't play while your at the movie theaters or when your walking down the road. 6) have sheer persistence, practice doesn't make perfect in the world of flappy bird but blind persistence may be worthwhile. 7) Just have fun. That's all folks.

I like to be one of those guys. That make video games all day and get paid to make them. I didn't know they made that much money.
Crazy stff I think people should just relaxe it's just a game people are taking it to serious games are ment to be challenging
I would ask why would you waste your time on things like this when you could go out n get a better education?
I agree with this to and people I know are addicted to this game. These theories are unanswered because there to simple to answer and people don't want to waste time with this when they could advance to he next level of there game.
Dude you are so wright. Preach! And bro they do ask themselves why but then again everybody has their addictions and you can't blame them. I know for shure you have an addiction. It is hard to break an addiction.
AJ, I agree with your advice when playing the game. Another thing that you might add is when playing the game, if you get frustrated when you lose, simply exit the game, go do something productive, and come back to the game when you've calmed down. There's no need to act irrationally about it, it's just a game.
