Gamers don’t seem to mind that they were addicted to the popular game, Flappy Bird. A White House petition was started Thursday, Feb. 13, by D.S., asking the Obama administration to bring back the game.
Although the petition only contains a few signatures at the moment, it makes strong claims saying, “Flappy Bird, also known as the devil's game and apocalypse, suffered an untimely death. The game has been described as causing suicidal thoughts and has caused the destruction of millions of mobile devices. People have lost their wives, children, homes, and jobs.”
As previously reported creator of game, Dong Nguyen pulled Flappy Bird from mobile app stores Sunday because “it was just too addictive.”
"That was the main negative. So I decided to take it down," said Nguyen according to CNET.
The game was making $50,000 a day when it was taken down. As a result, Nguyen received a high number of death threats and suicidal tweets.
