10 Video Games That Failed So Hard They Actually Won

5. Flappy Bird

If you were to tell someone 10 years ago that the revolution in mobile gaming wouldn't come from some Star Trek-inspired thumb-scanning VR simulation, but instead from a tiny, barely animated bird that fumbles its way through Super Mario's pipes, they'd of called the men in white coats. Somehow we're still continuing the trend Flappy started, with any number of super-simplistic - yet excruciatingly annoying - titles flooding the likes of the iOS and Android marketplaces - even though there's the absolute bare minimum put into their creation. The Flappy Bird craze went a little too overboard in the end, with creator Dong Nguyen pulling the game from stores due to the overwhelming amount of death threats and feedback he was receiving about its addictive nature - despite making around $50,000 a day in ad revenue. People then took to buying other phones on eBay that still had a copy of the game on - just so they could play it one last time, to the tune of up to $90,000. Diagnosis? People are CRAZY.
