He probably didn't expect this game to 'blow up' like it did; probably just wanted to make a little profit. I mean if you think about it, how much effort do you think he put into making the game?
In honesty I think a lot of people are jealous of his success (especially indie game developers). Some people can work extremely hard their entire lives doing 9-5 and won't see the amount of money this guy has made so far. My guess is that he just wanted to make a little money from the in-game ads which to his credit are very unobtrusive. That the game has blown up to such epic proportions can't be something he planned for.
Oh well, it has been recreated in Project Spark. I can die happy, I mean miserable from being so damned frustrated. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/1ZPIm-cYwrk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I decided to turn it on while getting ready to sleep, somehow pulled off 179. Needless to say i won't ever best that.
Great business decision from the creator...this decision has nothing to do with him not being able to take it anymore lol...it has everything to do with making more money (If he actually goes through with the smart plan). Think about it.
It is a smart decision because of 120k retweets. He is riding this thing like Rebecca black should have rode Friday (except there she should have threatened to take it down but left it up). She could have been number one on YouTube. I'm glad she didn't have smart people around her at the time. So many people will download/re-download and have downloaded his game because of that tweet.
Can't take what anymore btw? I understand it's not true, but what is it that he claims to not be able to take anymore? It requires work from him even aftre he made the game?
It's a business decision. Now more people will download the game knowing the app will be gone in the App Store. Which means more ad revenue for him. The game will still function as long as you have it on your device.
