At its core, Flappy Bird is a simple game. You poke the screen to make the bird flap. You try not to bump into the pipes. You see how far you can get before inevitably crashing into said pipes. But unlike Flappy Bird's gameplay, its history--and recently revealed information about its upcoming reboot--couldn't be more complicated, resulting in the team behind the game's re-release making an official statement regarding multiple controversies around the game.

Unfortunately, the Flappy Bird Foundation's statement still managed to ignore one of the biggest critiques from players: the game's heavy implementation of cryptocurrency.

The statement covers a lot of topics, from the upcoming Flappy Bird developer's acquisition of the Flappy Bird trademark to commentary on the studio's relationship with the creator of Piou Piou Vs Cactus, a mobile game that preceded Flappy Bird and inspired a large part of Flappy Bird's gameplay.
