The Flappy Bird Foundation responded to the criticism, saying it is the true heir and is committed to protecting and promoting the legacy of the 2013 hit game "Flappy Bird," PANews reported.

Recently, the game announced its return in the form of GameFi and was launched on Telegram, but it sparked strong opposition from the gaming community and even forced creator Dong Nguyen to break his seven-year social media silence and publicly oppose the project.

The Flappy Bird Foundation said that they obtained the trademark rights of the game through legal means and re-launched it as a TON mini-game, and the token is expected to be launched soon.
