Flappy Bird to Return to the App Store

So the hell what? I couldn't care less if Flappy Bird comes back to the App Store. Why is this important? Let's move on!
I don't like this guy because of his lies before saying "I will never bring it back". Also I don't get what the big deal of these kindergarten games. And why do they all have to look like old Nintendo style. I'm just really sick of this game and all of the horrible money hungry copies
I have a feeling that all of this way basically that. He pulls the game saying it was too addictive etc. Then returns it but with candy crush like play limits saying it's to stop folks from spending all their time playing it. But really he has 'more lives' IAP in there to make money. And he'll sneak them into an update for bug fixes etc.
I am tired of the Flappy stories, but no one is forcing you to subscribe to Push. btw, has anyone ever brought up a feature request for disabling Mac/iOS blog stories and just getting Front Page stuff?
I'd rather just play on the calculator app and look up weather than support this clown by downloading his "addictive" app.
The first part of your argument might be fair, but you shouldn't make light of other peoples' addictions just because you don't share their problems!
I'm not a gamer, and don't share their potential "video game addiction" problem either, but I don't pretend it isn't a real problem for at least some gamers.
Likewise, I've never struggled with an Alcohol addiction, and we all know that is a real struggle for some people.
Try to have at least some respect for the struggles that other people face, even when you clearly don't relate to the frustrations and consequences of those struggles.
Some people struggle with addictions to serious drugs. Others have difficulty avoiding the consumption of coffee, soda, chocolate, and dozens of other "little" things (like video games) that you might take for granted, because you don't see the world those people face through their eyes.
There is an entire world of revelation and understanding beyond yours.
You don't need to experience their addictions yourself to understand them (just as you don't need to touch fire to understand that it will burn you), but that understanding can come by listening humbly to their experiences.
Laughing at those addictions as if they aren't serious concerns to some people helps neither them nor you learn from those addiction experiences.
Why is this on the front page?
So this guy BLATANTLY COPIES another game (Piou Piou) and manages to make some decent coin. Are we really going to call him a developer? This guy should be shunned. Why is this on the front page at all? Other than it being able to be played on iOS devices, how does it relate?

if it was a marketing strategy, then does it work? Would it be expected to draw more users to play the games than before?
I usually say if you're not into a story, don't read it and move on...
That being said, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD NO MORE FLAPPY BIRDS ARTICLES ON FRONT PAGE EVER AGAIN!

50k /day? Really?
Can an app really earn $50,000 per day realistically? (I don't know anything about app revenues, obviously, that's why I ask).
I mean if its paid yeah I can see that, but if its free? Do ads generate that much revenue? Any insights welcome.

Probably because it's not a blatant copy. But many other things are involved as well.
Great... Just when I thought my friends' constantly nagging me, "Dude, you need to play this game!!!!!! SO addicting!" Yea? Well I did. Hated it.
Well he asked for it.
He should of charged more, then maybe it may not have been "overlay addictive" .
Good to see this returning, but while we wait, there are clones.
If you hate any game within the first few minutes it either means, you haven't given it time to sink in, and it will always be good if you've given up, that just tells you it's challenging, but you just don't care
The simplest games with crappy graphics 8-bit looks like, are usually the good ones if the angle is right.
That's why i still like many Commodore 64 games

The story has come full circle! And you've gotten every juicy detail right here on MR. What will happen next on "This week on Flappy Bird?" Stay tuned! I'm glued to my seat to find out.
What an emotional rollercoaster this whole saga has been. I'm emotionally drained. It's there, it's not there, it's there again. It's addicting, too much fame, more interviews, and now... It Flaps once more! I don't think I can take much more of this. What will they write next??? Who knows!?!? But I'm sure MR will think of something.
Bravo, news team. I smell a Pulitzer. Great stories. Compelling and rich.
