I think Dong Nguyen doesn't want to gain infamy or a bad reputation from this game so he pulled the plug while it was still in its early days, as a way of saying "yeah I know it's a bad game, I didn't predict it would become popular like that". He might also want to avoid lawsuits from nintendo and whoever made that Piou Piuo game that's so similar

If he wants to work in the videogame industry, maybe this was a good move? I dunno.

The game has not been taken down from the Google Play store. It will not show when you tap 'Top Free', but if you tap on the 'search' button and type 'Flappy Bird' the game is still there
