    You guys all missed the point with Flappy Birds. I wish I was in this conversation. Why? This is ironically happening to me right now with two of my apps. It’s stress related! Dealing with lawyers, and Nintendo!

    Good observation Nick. It’s very easy to comment from the stand, but I’m sure the developer feels/felt a very real element of stress that just wasn’t desired. Some people would just say, “oh well” and keep moving forward. But, not everyone is built that way. Hope your dealings go smoothly.

    @Nick – Actually, Nintendo stated that they had nothing to do with the removal. I’m sorry to hear you’re having some issues with them. Good luck.
