Dong Nguyen (Flappy Bird creator) No, I have no related with their game. I did not sell anything. I also don't support crypto.

Upvoting despite the Xitter link because people need to know about the scummy shit going down with Flappy Bird.
- Which part is scummy?
  
  some shady crypto group bought the rights to the name or something like that after the original creator had let their rights to it expire.
  
  The crypto.
Context?
- 10 years ago he published a game that went viral for being a specific addictive form of frustrating. Some people bullied the shit out of him so he divorced himself of his game and out the whole thing behind him. Fast forward 10 years, because he divorced himself of the game he didn't really think about it when his IP protections expired. This had consequences when unscrupulous motherfuckers published a clone of his original game as a crypto scam of some sort (I haven't looked into the specifics yet). So now he has to think about his old game again and tell all us he's not scamming us
  
  Thanks. Knew about the original, hadn’t heard of the new scam. That sucks and feel bad for the guy can’t imagine people are being rational about it with how bad it was the first time.
His name is Dong?
