When Dong Nguyen announced last week that he will remove his hit game on digital stores, which did push through, there was uproar on the web. The Vietnamese game developer said that he is not happy anymore with the success that his game is getting and so, he decided to stop sharing it. Many game fans were not happy about it. They thought it is wrong to deprive them of such addicting game. Some even did the silliest moves to share the app, like putting a smartphone with a Flappy Bird app on auction in Amazon.

While gamers seem to can't get over the game, Google and Apple don't want any part of it. According to the International Business Times, a number of clones of the popular games were offered to Google and Apple, to which the two tech firms rejected.

Ever since the original Flappy Bird game was removed from both Android and iOS app stores last week by its developer Dong Nguyen, a ton of similar games have been surfacing on the Internet to cash in on Flappy Bird's sudden popularity.

However, a new report from TechCrunch said on Sunday that no more Flappy Bird clones will be allowed in the app stores as both Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) are coming down hard on such replica apps by rejecting games that comes with the word "Flappy" in their title.

TechCrunch reported that Apple rejected an app called "Flappy Dragon," created by Ken Carpenter, a Vancouver-based game designer, saying "we found your app name attempts to leverage a popular app." Apple also said that Flappy Dragon contained "content that could be misleading to users, which is not in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines."

Game developers aren't happy with Google and Apple's stance.

"I had included a sentence about Flappy Dragon being the best flappy game now that Flappy Bird was dead," Vancouver-based designer Ken told The Verge, adding that he was able to submit the game on Google Play by changing the name to "Derpy Dragon."
