Flappy Bird will rise from the ashes, but will it be as successful?

So you've undoubtedly heard by now that Flappy Bird creator Dong Nguyen has assured CNBC's Kelly Evans that Flappy Bird will indeed be coming back, and with a new multiplayer mode. However, Nguyen assured Evans that the new game will be less addictive than the first, one of the main reasons the developer felt he had to pull the game in the first place.

You may recall that during the short-lived Flappy Bird explosion, Nguyen found it difficult to deal with the demands, attention and pressure his unlikely smash hit game received and he decided that these things considered, along with what he saw as a very unhealthy attitude towards the game displayed by many players, that everyone would be better served by seeing it removed from circulation.
He gave fans fair warning and allowed everyone twenty-four hours to frantically download it officially before he removed the file from the Play Store, and received death threats and all kinds of media attention in the wake of his surprising decision. But that was then, this is now, and it seems that the new and improved Flappy Bird will arrive in August. The question is: will anyone still care about it by then?

Would you like to see Flappy Bird return? Or have you moved on to another obsession already?

After playing Flappy Bird for 5 minutes, I just got too bored of it. I find Candy Crush more addicting :) ... actually, I'm gonna play it right now!
Mary, get back to work! ;-P
He'll make it 'less addictive'? How, by putting less heroin and crack in it? I dunno if I believe that a dev can predict how addictive his game will be. But tbf I didn't read/see the original interview.
Did you get sucked into this game too? What was your highest score?
This game almost ruined my afternoon.
Just one afternoon? I think you got off easy.
Shoot, I installed/uninstalled four freaking times! But after the last time (the oh-my-god-it's-gonna-be-pulled-from-the-Play-Store-I'd-better-grab-it-for-posterity time) I have successfully managed to wean myself off the thing.
