Alright, here we go. I mean, can you even believe it’s been more than a decade since Flappy Bird went viral? Yep, that simple, oddly addictive game has made its way back — and guess what? Android users are getting a taste, thanks to the whole Epic Games Store thing. Strange how life circles back, right? Like, why now?
Anyway, Epic’s got this exclusive deal with something called Flappy Bird Publishing. Ironic, huh? No crypto nonsense this time, though (thank goodness for that), just straight-up ads and some weird little helmets for the bird. They’re making it super clear: “No Web3 stuff, folks.” Part of me wonders if they’re trying to scrub away last year’s craziness. You remember, right? Some oddball Telegram release hinted at cryptos and blockchain. Oh, what a time.
But wait, there’s more! Initially, they were dreaming big — the first ever open-source game mingling Web 2 and 3, whatever that means. They even tried roping in crypto wallets and some TON blockchain. My head spins just thinking about it.
Alright, switching gears for a sec (or maybe not?), Flappy Bird Publishing claims they’ll keep tossing out fresh stuff for the game. New worlds, characters, themes, you name it — all lined up till 2025. Sounds ambitious, huh?
What’s Dong Nguyen, the guy behind the original Flappy Bird, doing? Absolutely nothing to do with this revival! He didn’t cash in on this version. Turns out, he didn’t even sell them the trademark. Some group, the Flappy Bird Foundation (fancy name, right?), scooped up the abandoned rights and decided to dive back into the game. Wonder if they’ll pull it off.
So yeah, here we are. The bird’s back, no crypto strings attached. Feels like a déjà vu, doesn’t it? Or is it just me reminiscing all over again?
