    I mean on one hand I do think it’s fair that with him abandoning the game with taking it off stores and not using it all for him to lose the trademark. On the other, I think it’s bullshit someone else can then claim it. It should just be public domain

      If he wanted, he could have just open sourced the game, but chose not to.

        Open source would’ve been cool but I had a teacher in high school teach us how to re-create the game and it took us a week.

          Yes, it’s basically the first game any new game dev makes. The idea is way too simple for any kind of copyright. Not to mention it already existed before Flappy bird.
