The Flappy Bird game could be making a comeback if the words from its creator to Rolling Stone turn out to be true.
"I'm considering it," Dong Nguyen told Rolling Stone. If Nguyen does re upload the app, and better yet, an updated program he is reportedly planning to place a cautionary message hoping users don't play the game all the time in an effort to limit his workload, which plagued and caused him to take down the program the weekend of Feb. 8 and 9, 2014.
Flappy Bird was reportedly not made to handle a large influx of usage when it was launched May 24, 2013 on iOS.
"Flappy Bird was designed to play in a few minutes when you are relaxed," Nguyen told Forbes at the time he took the app down in what he envisioned to be a permanent decision until recently. "But it happened to become an addictive product. I think it has become a problem. To solve that problem, it's best to take down Flappy Bird. It's gone forever," Nguyen told Forbes.
"I cannot take this anymore," Nguyen said in a post on his Twitter account last month. The app was then gone by Feb. 8 according to CNET.
Remarks from Nintendo did not reportedly influence Nguyen's decision Forbes reported
A game enthusiast attempted to bring back the infamous Flappy Bird app through a petition on whitehouse.gov after its maker took it down Feb. 8 CNET reported at the time.
The app had over 50 million downloads, and earned Nguyen $50,000 a day in income from advertisements.
"The reason Flappy Bird is so popular is that it happens to be something different from mobile games today, and is a really good game to compete against each other," Nguyen told The Verge. "People in the same classroom can play and compete easily because [Flappy Bird] is simple to learn, but you need skill to get a high score," Nguyen told The Verge.
