Resumen de The obsessioneers

Douglas Heaven

  • Flappy Bird, a game that despite having been created by a single developer in a couple of days, became art accidental global obsession. At its peak earlier this year, Flappy Bird was being played by so many people on their phones that Dong Nguyen was making $50,000 a day. But things took a dark turn. People became so obsessed with the game that they showered Nguyen with angry abuse online. In the end it was too much for him. Nguyen withdrew Flappy Bird from public circulation. Here, Heaven finds whether a recipe for obsession in games could hurt or heal people.
