Flappy Bird Fallout

This game called flappy bird on the app store was deleted because it was too addictive and players considered the creator to be "Satan". Creator, Mr dong says i didn't intend for people to sit and play for hours, his personal score is only 150. due to the obsession people are willing to pay 134,000 to buy a phone with the app still on it. Mr. Dong said he spent three days developing "Flappy Bird." It employs a distinctive retro style that he claims goes along with the way he was raised, life isnt always easy "It is pure. It is all about the game, not about the ornamentation or decoration," he said.I feel this is absolutely insane to pay that much for a game that was once free. I personally have played and yes it is very very frustrating, and rather addicting but it sure is not worth that money. This poor man who created the game now cant even walk through his neighborhood without being pestered. This is exactly whats wrong with America, its okay to not worry about actual issues but once a game gets deleted off an app store people go crazy. Although mr dong has been harrassed he still feels confident to keep creating games and now peoples attention is on his other games called "Ninjas Assault" and "Droplet Shuffle.
