eBay天价拍卖装有Flappy Bird的手机(图)

  The sudden popularity of mobile hit Flappy Bird isn't the only thing soaring.
  Several auctions have popped up on the online marketplace eBay featuring iPhones that included an installed copy of Flappy Bird, which was removed from app stores by its developer after it skyrocketed to the top of the Google Play and Apple App Store.
  Some listings for the smartphones feature bids reaching hundreds and thousands of dollars, including one with a top bid of $99,900. We've reached out to eBay to determine whether this listing and some of the other high-price auctions are legitimate.
  On Sunday, game developer Dong Nguyen removed Flappy Bird, which surged to the top of the Games charts on both iTunes and Google Play. A series of previous tweets from Nguyen's Twitter account suggest the developer may have grown uncomfortable with the sudden attention his game attracted.
  "Press people are overrating the success of my games," said Nguyen in a tweet on Feburary 4. "It is something I never want. Please give me peace."
  Flappy Bird stars a tiny bird that players must fly between a series of green pipes sprouting from the top and bottom of the screen. Players must tap the touchscreen to keep the bird airborne. Along with visuals reminiscent of classic video games, the game also gained a reputation for being very difficult.
       


          FlappyBird这段时间备受媒体和大众关注,这款一夜成名的爆红手游出自越南独立游戏开发者阮哈东(Nguyen Ha Dong),一度占据应用商店排行榜榜首。不过好景不长,阮哈东竟然在Twitter上放出狠话,说22小时后从App Store和安卓应用商店撤下Flappy Bird,这并非牵涉到了法律版权问题,而是他无法承受单纯的生活被打破。果不其然阮哈东也用事实证明了他并非说说而已,现在Flappy Bird已经下架。
  Flappy Bird倒下了,可是装有Flappy Bird游戏的手机起来了!据iDownloadBlog报道,已经有人开始在eBay上拍卖这些手机了。目前,一台16GB的iPhone5s在74次竞价后,竟然飙到了高达99900美元(超过人民币60万元)。这台手机的初始竞价为650美元(约合人民币3939元),而现在距离拍卖结束还有6天多的时间,最后竞标价会是多少难以想象。
