Flappy Bird?

More like Fappy Bird because whoever plays it must beat their meat am i rite haha yeah


That being said, I have the highest score.

 

...

 

I got 100 today. Aiming for 150.

 

ugh I can't even reach 10 with that game.

 

Highscore 35. awwww yeahhhh

PS I really don't understand why the creator is taking it down

 

88 here :v and only after like a dozen tries
this game is easy-sauce

 

Internet hate, made his money, using stolen Nintendo resources without them making money of them so the threat of a lawsuit would financially damage him.

It's slightly depressing that he's making so much money off of a stolen resources and idea. It's basically that copter flash game with those green blocks you avoid. I use to play it at school during lunch. Slap a bird on it and some Mario pipes and HELLO MONEY!
I get it, he was probably testing his skills at making a game, but by god he should not have marketed it. It's a legal shitstorm.
I don't hate the mobile market, some games are really good. But the mobile market is full of unoriginal, ripped off games, free to play models that you have to pay £60 to progress past a certain point. Angry Birds wasn't even an original or refined game but people are obsessed with bird games on the mobile.

 

It's amazing how it's turned people crazy in the space of about a week. I have not played it nor will I ever, I must stay away from the rage fest. I always hated the helicopter game because I was terrible at it, I can see this being no different.

 

For some strange reason, I get the impression that as long as you're not making money off of it, you can use other people's resources in your creative project as long as it's not completely ripping anything in particular off.

 

As long as you're not making money off of it, or basically breaking laws that damage the copyright holders, I think you can do what you like with it, in private, even if you obtain it by shady means.
A lot of game developers start off these days by making mods or designing basic games using resources they acquire. I wouldn't expect anyone to start designing a game from scratch especially if they're trying to learn to use a certain engine or software. Those flash games around the net back in the early 00s used copyrighted images and resources, but the individuals weren't generally making money off of them. The games they made were stolen and hosted by numerous game sites

I mean, if I were to compare, 50 Shades of Grey should never have happened. It was originally a fan fiction of Twilight (which in itself was a modern adaption of Romeo and Juliet) and in my view should never have made money. Changing names and editing a bit doesn't change the facts of origin.

But like I said, no one should be making a profit off of someone else's work without consent.

 

How exactly was Twilight an adaption of Romeo and Juliet? Are you implying that Romeo and Juliet was the first "tragic" romance?

And we can even go as far as to say that Romeo and Juliet was derivative as well.

 

Because Stephanie Meyer specifically based the second book off Romeo and Juliet, though arguably the whole series is.
It's arguably a modern adaption, with other Shakespearean elements and the Bronte sister's works mixed in.
And I wouldn't even class Twilight as a tragedy, in the end they live happily ever after with their kid. No one too major dies, goes mad or is exiled.they defeat the bad guys and end with united love. Nor does it evoke catharsis in the audience.

I would argue though, it's a piece of crap that spawned another piece of crap.

 

Oh really? I could've sworn she said that the books were based off of her middle-aged housewife wet dreams.

 

I meant Twilight. By Stephanie Meyer.
E.L James wrote the Fifty Shades books.

 

I was also talking about Twilight.

 

Oh a joke! Discussions make me fairly dense, as you can tell.

 

Everytime I see a VGN post, I have get distracted by his signature for a few minutes

 

I AM NOT ALONE.
