I thought the creator committed suicide when the game became popular… Edit he didn’t

Yeah I thought the same. I knew I saw it or read it somewhere but apparently that’s not true. I still don’t remember the reason why he took it off. Wonder if the death threats were actually true too.

He took it down because he felt it was too addictive. He made $50,000 the day before he took it down, so he was choosing morals over money.
