A collection of quotes by Dong Nguyen.

Dong Nguyen is a Vietnamese game developer and programmer best known for creating the highly addictive mobile game, Flappy Bird. Born on May 18, 1985, in Hanoi, Vietnam, Nguyen developed an interest in programming and game development at a young age. He studied computer science and graduated from a university in Hanoi.

Nguyen began his career as a programmer and worked for a company called Punch Entertainment before venturing into independent game development. In May 2013, he released Flappy Bird for iOS and Android platforms. The game, featuring a simple mechanic of navigating a bird through a series of pipes, quickly gained popularity due to its challenging nature and addictive gameplay.

Flappy Bird reached unprecedented success in early 2014, topping the charts in various app stores and gaining millions of downloads worldwide. However, the sudden fame and intense media attention took a toll on Nguyen. Feeling overwhelmed by the game's criticism and concerned about its addictive nature, he decided to remove Flappy Bird from app stores in February 2014.

After the removal of Flappy Bird, Nguyen went on to develop and release other mobile games but none achieved the same level of success. He kept a low profile, avoiding media attention and focusing on smaller game projects. Dong Nguyen's unique creation, Flappy Bird, continues to be remembered as a cultural phenomenon that captured the attention of millions of players worldwide.
