Flappy Bird is a game that captivated the world. We played. And played. And played. And played. We competed for high scores. We played against friends. Some of us even broke our phones. And then it all stopped.

We loved the game, and the fact that Dong Nguyen has decided to remove it from the App Stores is outrageous.

We understand your reasoning, but you have hundreds of thousands of people who enjoyed your game. Taking it away from your loyal fans should be a crime.

If you would bring it back, the Flappy Bird community should be respectful enough to provide you the privacy you request. We will keep you out of headlines, news stories, media. You can have your normal life as a game developer back.

We're sorry the popularity of the game ruined your personal life. We'll make up for it. We promise.

Please bring Flappy Bird back to us. You won't be sorry.
