The original creator of Flappy Bird, Dong Nguyen, has publicly distanced himself from a new initiative by a group claiming to revive the game with potential cryptocurrency integrations. This group, self-titled The Flappy Bird Foundation, announced it acquired the Flappy Bird trademark from Gametech Holdings LLC after a legal dispute. Despite their claims of legal acquisition and collaboration with Nguyen, he denies any involvement or endorsement, particularly disavowing any connections to cryptocurrency. The foundation's plans hint at a crypto-centric revival of the game, with references to blockchain technology, a token launch on Solana, and a play-to-earn model. This development raises concerns about the exploitation of the game's nostalgic value for potential profit in the crypto space.
