Time will indeed tell, but there’s no need to feel overly sorry for Nguyen in the wake of the melee. However, with Nguyen’s saga containing all the rumored drama surrounding this now-you-play-it, now-you-don’t app being so well known, one wonders if his case won’t take a different path and find Apple allowing him to use the name once more. In the meantime, Mobile Media Partners snapped up the name and even has a pending trademark on the name.

In answer to Robert who asked if Nguyen planned to put Flappy Bird back on the app store, the controversial creator replied, “Yes.
