Flappy Bird's "father" denies reviving the game, declares not supporting crypto

On September 15, the cryptocurrency community on X (Twitter) shared the latest post from Dong Nguyen, the founder of the once-famous game Flappy Bird.

In it, Mr. Dong Nguyen denied information related to the effort to revive the game that has been causing a stir in the gaming community in recent days, affirming that there was no such thing as selling the copyright of Flappy Bird to anyone.

No, I have nothing related to their game. I didn't sell anything.
I also don't support crypto.

— Dong Nguyen (@dongatory) September 15, 2024

Notably, this is Mr. Dong's first post on X since 2014, when he agreed to remove the game to avoid public pressure.

In addition to denying any involvement in the Flappy Bird revival effort, Nguyen Ha Dong also wrote that he “does not support crypto.”

A few days ago, an organization called Flappy Bird Foundation announced that it had acquired the copyright to Flappy Bird and would soon reopen the game with many unique game modes and improvements. This information caused a stir in the world because it marked the 10th anniversary of Flappy Bird being removed after causing a global storm due to being involved in many copyright controversies and causing game addiction for many people.

I AM BACK!!

Just a decade ago, I was the talk of the town and soaring to new heights with my 100 million friends. Sadly, I had to leave the fame and spotlight behind to go home and find out who I really am.

Thanks to my super Flappy Bird® fans, I'm refreshed, reinvigorated,… pic.twitter.com/b4UaFZQA2r

However, the X community quickly discovered suspicious points about the new project. Many accounts pointed out evidence that the team behind the new Flappy Bird game may not be related to the original founder, Vietnamese programmer Nguyen Ha Dong, because the Flappy Bird Foundation had acquired the game's trademark copyright after Nguyen Ha Dong failed to re-register it.

"But why would Nguyen sell the Flappy Bird Trademark??" "Hope he got his bag"
Looks like he *didn't*.
It seems like it's been Longing enough that the trademark was considered abandoned, so Gametech Holdings LLC filed against him, and just. Grabbbed it for free. pic.twitter.com/EwVzuOLcHm

In addition, there were also rumors that Flappy Bird's X account followed many KOLs about Non-Fungible Token, as well as the new project owner also being involved with Non-Fungible Token, leading to speculation that the new game would try to incorporate Non-Fungible Token and crypto elements. Flappy Bird quickly unfollowed those accounts. There were also rumors on social media that the new Flappy Bird game would re-launch as a mini app on Telegram and Token Issuance called FLAP - a formula that has been applied extremely successfully in the past with names like Hamster Kombat , Catizen or Notcoin .

Guys I think the Flappy Bird revival might be a crypto ponzi scheme https://t.co/9c1ynrFCMh pic.twitter.com/rhDfVIvW0w
