Still need gift ideas for your valentine? How about the joy of deleting Flappy Bird from his or her phone. 

Flappy Bird was awful, be glad it’s gone

You probably played Flappy Bird — the 8-bit, side-scrolling endless runner released in May 2013, but only just gained popularity. And you also probably threw your smartphone against a wall or from the top of a very tall structure because you were one set of pipes away from beating your high score.

But thankfully, mercifully, developer Dong Nguyen pulled the game from the Google Play Store and Apple App Store on Sunday, ridding us of the frustratingly difficult game.

In an interview with Forbes on Tuesday, Nguyen further explained his reasoning for removing the game that was estimated to make him $50,000 in ad revenue a day.

He told Forbes he “couldn’t sleep” and his life wasn’t “as comfortable as [it] was before,” and said he did not regret pulling the game.

But, he said he’s using the success of Flappy Bird to continue his passion for making games.

“…I feel more confident, and I have freedom to do what I want to do,” Nguyen said.

Unfortunately pulling the game may have only increased the hype. Phones and tablets with Flappy Bird installed are for sale on eBay for upwards of $5,000 as of Feb. 12.

The game that has no point and no ending is selling for $5,000 on the Internet.

$5,000.

Here’s a list of things you could buy for that much instead of a smartphone with a painfully unimpressive game pre-installed:

1. A 1998 Pontiac Firebird ($4,995)

2. A one-way, Valentine’s Day ticket to Sochi, Russia ($3,372, per Expedia)

3. 689 3-Finger combos from Cane’s (at $7.25 per order, tax included, this is obviously your best choice)

4. Four deluxe hotel package tickets to Game 1 of this season’s Stanley Cup Final ($1225 a ticket)

I could go on. But the point is, please don’t pay any amount of money for Flappy Bird. It’s not that good of a game, and will only cause you incredible frustration.
