Although, the Vietnamese developer has pulled out his simple yet addictive game from mobile app stores, Flappy Bird reportedly still survives on online gaming websites.
Nguyen Dong removed the mobile game because he couldn't take the attention his creation was getting him and the 50,000 dollar-a-day raking game apparently ruined his life.
According to Fox News, despite the original game being not available anymore on App Store and Play Store, alternatives are available all over the Internet with a variety of websites hosting the game, most likely without permission from Nguyen.
The game is available on sites like Flappybirds.com, FlappyBird.com, Flappybird.io etc.
However, crazed fans, which are looking for a mobile gaming experience, they are required to pay more than 100,000 dollars.
The report said that an iPhone 4s loaded with "Flappy Bird" is listed on eBay for 134,295 dollars, while iPhone 5s with the game is cheaper for 99,999 dollars.
