What's the big Flap about 'Flap Bird?' Well, a couple of things.

In an interview with Forbes, creator of Flappy Bird said that he was not feeling like himself after the success of his hugely popular online video game.

He described he was not getting adequate sleep and that his life was disrupted from the way it used to be. This is a concept that is fundamentally warped in the West, where work life balance is often not achieved.

Forbes also reported that Don Nyugyen, the Vietnamese creator of the game, had a number of other games out, including some that are iOS specific.

So, while Western critics ask why someone with a hugely successful product would pull out of the race, they are also asking what his ulterior motives are.

It is not clear why Dong is doing what he is doing. Conjectures include theories of Dong himself having mental illness after being addicted to his game, that he might be creating suspense for a second game in the making or making his games in the market even more popular by creating demand for his brand.

Seriously, who would bow out of making millions of dollars because the businessman is concerned about the health of the consumer? That sounds so out of the way and ridiculous in America.

So, Larry Magid, a columnist for the San Jose Mercury News thinks, that people who are addicted to video games online or digital games of any sort tend to have game addiction, which is treated as mental illness. A person with game addiction needs to be treated as having a psychiatric condition, just as an alcoholic would go through withdrawal symptoms after giving up booz.

Mr.Dong told Forbes he was taking the game off the Internet because "it happened to become an addictive product," mercury news reports.
