PSA: That’s not the real Flappy Bird on Windows Phone

Since yesterday, our email box has been flooded with 'tips' about a sure fad game right now: Flappy Bird. Evidently, it's now on Windows Phone. Then where'southward the link? Where's our coverage?

Simply put, that game – and every other iteration – is a false or pirated copy. That's right. If you're playing Flappy Bird on Windows Phone, congrats, you lot're playing a clone, a rip off, a stolen version of the game, something fabricated by some neckbeard in his mom'southward basement. We tweeted that out, merely we're guessing many of you missed information technology or aren't on Twitter.

The funny thing is, many of you are noting how 'bad the gameplay' is, which is entertaining because in many ways that is Flappy Bird. But we're not giving the link because the guy who pirated it is collecting advertizing revenue through advertizement impressions and that's kind of lame. And aye, nosotros reported information technology to Microsoft.

But let usa repeat: Flappy Bird is not on Windows Phone yet. In fact, the developer of the real Flappy Bird acknowledged that he'southward a bit behind right now on the port. Hey, information technology's i guy making the game, we can cut him some slack.

For future reference, here's how you tin can notice if a game or app is real or simulated: look at the publisher. Microsoft (and every other app store) always tells yous who published the game. If it's non published by a company you know, it'southward probably not the real bargain. For instance, Flappy Bird is published by Gears Studio and adult past Dong Nguyen. If you lot see anything else as a publisher, well, it's not the real thing.

We'll be sure to tell you when the real Flappy Bird arrives. But for now, you're not playing the real affair, just a bad port

Anyone who does post Store links in comments, will be deleted. So don't exercise it. Also, we love you guys, merely please stop tipping u.s. on this story, kthxbai!
