He's really a PR genius. When he restores Flappy Bird to the app store next week, after a week of the media writing about how it was taken down abruptly, It'll blow up even more.

Possibly...and it's an excellent opportunity to raise the price.

I suspect he'll lose out to duplicates.

When - if - he removes it from the app store, Clumsy Bird [insert clone here] will take over his sales momentum, and Flappy Bird will never be heard from again.

indeed , clumsy birds is coming close.

Me, too. I just downloaded. I hadn't played it until the HTML5 clone showed up here.

Maybe that's what he wants to happen?

yea that may be the case too, although I would like to think otherwise :]

Never attribute to malice...
