[quote=Alwaysbeat]guess i can't relate but if it were me, i'd make my millions then ride off into the sunset and live this "simple life" he so desires.[/quote]

Because he's probably been making $50k a day for like at least 150 days, which is already 7.5mil.

[quote=Hydraxide]I think he understands that sudden influx of wealth can change someone. Look at all the miserable lottery winners. This man clearly knows what he's doing.[/quote]

Pfft, as long as I'm miserable while riding my 5 lamborghinis into the sunset, I'm fine with winning the lottery.

[quote=DatNewNew]Good. I don't blame the game being how it is but at least involve some creativity to it. They ripped the basic Mario-theme and added the pipes with repetitive gameplay. Like I mean if a game is going to be that "repetitive" and acclaimed "addicting" by some why don't they put creativity with the little effort that had put in when they first created the game.[/quote]

yeah, like why not add an option to choose bird color not just random, toggle sound, etc small stuff like that

@Alwaysbeat: I agree, but hey, maybe he really just wanted to make games for the fun of it and didn't think it would get so big. In saying that, I'm sure he's already earned quite a bit of money by now from Flappy Bird
