20 Most Embarrassing Video Game Moments Of The Decade

20. Flappy Bird Creator Can't Handle His Creation

Back in the summer of 2013, you couldn't go anywhere without seeing someone playing Flappy Bird on their phone. Its simplistic survival design became a competition between all of us, just to see who could last the longest and build up the highest score possible. 

Well, all that came to an end in February 2014, when creator Dong Nguyen removed the game from the app store permanently. While at first it seemed to be a sort of breakdown for the creator, as he tweeted, "I am sorry Flappy Bird users, 22 hours from now, I will take Flappy Bird down. I cannot take this anymore" it was later revealed by Nguyen he removed the game from the marketplace because of its addictive nature, which it most certainly possessed. 

For this, Nguyen said he felt immense amounts of guilt. On top of this however, Nguyen said his life was never comfortable after releasing the app, even receiving death threats after the app was taken down.
