Most PRs Would Like To Have This Problem: 'Flappy Bird' Shut Down Because It Got Too Popular

Dong Nguyen, a Vietnam-based developer, says he created the game in two to three days. And he was clearly caught off guard by the success of the game. Having a bit of a meltdown on Twitter, he announced this weekend that he was pulling the game.
