Flappy Bird Relaunches Without Crypto Elements After Divisive Telegram Return
Flappy Bird has made a comeback, available on the Epic Games Store for Android, but without any cryptocurrency features, diverging from last year's controversial Telegram version. The game retains its classic tap-to-flap mechanics, allowing players to navigate through pipes, and introduces a new quest mode designed for traditional gaming. Unlike the previous iteration that aimed to integrate crypto elements and was met with backlash, this release focuses solely on ad revenue and in-app purchases. Developed by Dong Nguyen's Flappy Bird Foundation, the game announced that it will not include Web3 functionalities in future updates. The Telegram version, which faced criticism and limited popularity, has ended its mining phase, with no current plans for a token release despite earlier promises. Clear communication from the Foundation emphasized that any claims of being an official Flappy Bird token are scams, reinforcing their stance against cryptocurrency involvement.
