The classic mobile game Flappy Bird was announced to be making a return this week, except it's not quite the comeback you think it is.

    No, it’s not coming back like the title indicates. This is by zero of the original people and none of the original code. It’s a clone, of which there are many better ones, as the article content explains.

    This is a scam abusing a legal loophole (sniping the trademark) to sound official.

      I think the title does a fine job explaining it isn’t to be trusted 🤷‍♀️.

      But yeah for real it’s not legit. These people poached the trademark and are trying to cash in

      i understand the appeal as a minigame, like it’s literally a minigame in Deep Rock Galactic, but the fact that people genuinely play it as its own game is… bro just play minesweeper
