I depends on the nature of the removal. If Apple removes it because it is dangerous then they can prevent it, but Flappy Birds is still available to re-download if you "bought" it before the author removed it.
Got a tip for us?

I downloaded it on my iPad over the weekend before it was taken down. Just moments ago, I was able to go to purchases on my iPhone and download it.
nothing, but you won't be able to advertise that it has the game, and therefore you're not gonna make any more money than you'd make for an iphone that really is wiped.
Apple def needs to adopt this marketing strategy.
Official statement from Apple: After much thought and consideration, OS X will be officially deleted from out software catalog. Please go back to OS 9 by next Monday. Thanks so much from the boys at Cupertino.

I'm so sick of eBay controlling what people can post. It's individuals selling to individuals they should be allowed to sell whatever they want within reason. eBay didn't let me post the box to my day one xbox one that I could have got a good amount of money out of.

Are you guys serious? If people want to take these games so seriously that they become addicted thats their own problem... I on the other hand am not a child and can play a game without it taking over my entire life.

If the developer of the game is so concerned about its addiction factor, why has he had it available in the android market?
Good on EBay for shutting down those auctions. Scammers.

OH please... its that game you've been playing incessantly since it was released.
The home page contains the term "Flappy Bird" (23) more than the terms "Macbook" (8) and "Mac Pro" (12) combined (20).
So, Hi... I'm Blake 
Anyways, just for some fun I posted my brand new (purchased yesterday) iPad Air up on eBay with Flappy Bird installed on it (proof you can still download the game if you previously bought it).
Now, I posted it as more of a joke for a friend as he thought it was ludicrous people would pay extra just for the game. I have seen one iPad Air 16GB wifi only sell for $2,000 with Flappy Bird (the buyer had 0 feedback so there is a strong possibility it was fake).... either way, I posted it as a joke.
I thought to myself, meh, if someone is willing to pay me $1,000 I'll take it, and laugh at my friend all at the same time.
I originally downloaded the game about a week ago on my iPad Mini (which I have since sold). I then bought an iPad Air and re-installed the game via my "purchased" games in the app store. It's definitely worth noting that I CANNOT install the game on my iPhone via the App Store "purchased" apps, I can only do this on my iPad. No clue why.
eBay needs to stoping trying to control what I do!

To be fair, sell a ton of crap on eBay which a lot of folks find "lame". Like the Fifty Three Pencil, I purchased a TON of them at launch, kept 1 for myself, sold about 8 so far all for over 3x the purchased price. I mean hell, if I can net $100+ on each pencil, I'm super happy with that all for doing nothing. If I can buy an iPad Air for $500, and sell it for $1,000 because it has a free app on it, I'd do it in a heart-beat (am currently working on a work-around for eBay's terms and will be re-listed for a 24 hour run for some run to see if I can nab any bids).

Flappy birds is not available in the Play store, they pulled it the same day it was pulled from the App Store, I checked and you're welcome.
WTF is wrong with the world? I went to an article at usatoday.com, look at their logo. http://i.imgur.com/TGbk8cL.png
