Earlier this week a new game populated up on the App Store
of many devices such as Samsung, Apple phones, iPads and much more. It’s under
the name of Flappy Birds and doesn’t hold back on the addiction scale causing
disruption, anger and isolation across many young people.
The creator, Dong Nguyen, didn’t expect this and stated “I
didn’t create this game to cause anger and changes, it was supposed to be to
pass the time…” he stated “…not in any way did I want this to happen, yeah I
wanted it to be big, but not big for the fact it’s changing people mentally.”
There have been many warning and reviews for this game under
the comment section of the App, some of the more popular ones stating that he
“…was warned…” and that it was so addictive that he “hasn’t slept” and he
“hears Flappy Birds taunting him, when he closes his eyes he see’s in” and he
“hears them in the people he loves voice.” This is a prime example of this game
and goes to prove how very “life-ruiningly” addictive it is.
There have been many cases of violence due to this game, not
only to other people but also to their phones and in some cases, themselves.
Some of these accounts of violence have included people punching walls, throw
shoes and even causes people to bite their own phones. It’s also accountable
for screams, isolation and sudden frustration.
Another review stated, “Flappy Bird ruins your life. It
takes away all enjoyment and happiness and leaves you paralysed, suffering and
starving.” Supposedly, there is also no escape from Flappy Birds and you should
not download it unless you “want to sell your soul to the devil” and “not be
able to escape, it will stay with you forever.”
In conclusion, there is a strong possibility that it will
take over and control you. We warn every reader of this article not to download
it, not to fall for it and most definitely stopped loved ones from downloading
it. Or you will, inevitably, lose them. We have warned you, be careful. Avoid
Flappy Birds.
