Last week, The Flappy Bird Foundation announced a game called Flappy Bird. But while the group has been framing it as the triumphant return of a classic mobile game, Flappy Bird’ s original developer, Dong Nguyen isn’t calling it a comeback — in fact, he says he’s not involved at all.

Flappy Bird became a sensation among smartphone users, with many of us spending far too long getting the little yellow guy to climb higher and higher along pipes. But, it didn't last long, with it soon pulled from app stores.

The Flappy Bird Foundation then acquired the rights from Gametech Holdings. The group also filed in opposition of Nguyen's trademark in 2023, per The Verge. Related: First Patient with Neuralink Brain Chip Can Play Video Games with His Mind: 'It's Crazy'
