@DoctorLemma Damn so that one story was fake? I remember back in 2014 someone told me they shut down flappy bird cause the owner of the app shot and killed his brother.

In 2014, a programmer in Vietnam deleted the most downloaded game on earth because he said it was ruining his life. He was making $50,000 a day when he did it.
Dong Nguyen grew up in a village near Hanoi. He discovered video games through Super Mario Bros as a kid and started coding his own at 16. He built Flappy Bird in two to three days using a bird character from a game he’d already cancelled. The gameplay was inspired by bouncing a ping pong ball on a paddle for as long as you can. He thought existing mobile games were too complicated and wanted something anyone could play on the move. He released it quietly in May 2013. Nobody noticed.
For five months, nothing happened. Then a well-known YouTuber reviewed it. Downloads surged. By the end of January 2014, Flappy Bird was the most downloaded free app on the planet with over 50 million downloads. Nguyen, who had been working alone from Hanoi, was suddenly earning $50,000 a day from in-app adverts.
Then it turned. Parents complained the game was ruining their children’s lives. Players sent him messages blaming him for their broken phones and lost jobs. Paparazzi camped outside his house. He stopped sleeping. On 8 February 2014, he tweeted: “I can call Flappy Bird a success of mine. But it also ruins my simple life. So now I hate it.” Twenty-two hours later, he deleted it from every app store.
Phones with the game still installed were listed online for thousands of dollars. The internet assumed it was a publicity stunt. It wasn’t. In an interview shortly after, he sat chain-smoking and said the game was designed to be played for a few relaxed minutes. “But it happened to become an addictive product. I think it has become a problem. To solve that problem, it’s best to take down Flappy Bird. It’s gone forever.”
He still lives in Hanoi. He still makes games through his small studio, dotGears, which has six employees. He stays out of public life. In 2024, a company acquired the Flappy Bird trademark and announced a reboot. Nguyen said he has no connection to it.

😱 WILD STORY 😱
In 2013, Cheri Parker let her son use her card to buy GTA V.
What she didn’t realize was that it automatically entered her into a nationwide sweepstakes tied to the launch.
Rockstar had partnered with GameStop and West Coast Customs to build a real-life version of a GTA car, and anyone who bought the game through the promotion had a chance to win it.
Just like that, this mom won a real-life GTA car because her son used her card.

2024 Subway Shooting in Brooklyn:
So this is WILD.
- The black guy started beating on the white guy because he thought he jumped the fare
- The black guy was armed with a knife
- The white guy’s girlfriend stabs the black guy in the back to get him off of her boyfriend
- The black guy retrieves a gun
- The gunshots you hear at the end are from the WHITE GUY
- The white guy was able to take the black guy’s gun and shoot him several times, including the head
- Black guy survived but they arrested the white guy and charged him with attempted murder because NY doesn’t recognize self defense laws
Can anyone get me in touch with this guy’s family?
