Temple run, Candy Crush, Angry birds... even Draw Something. its not a surprise that Flappy bird made it big, given the history of mobile games that have went viral before.
Tons of shi'tty "simple" games are made and released every day on mobile platforms. If it was anything other than dumb luck, it wouldn't have happened randomly over 9 months after he released the game.
Indie devs shouldn't sell out and start making complete turds just to "get a clue" in the vain hope that they can be the one of a hundred pomegranatety games released any given week that maybe one a month catches on for no discernible reason. (And then gets 20 clones of its own in a couple of days)

Just because he said no legal issues doesn't mean he didn't receive them, he may have except this was kept super private so both parties don't lose face.
Are you kidding? Nintendo makes people take down stuff infringing them publicly fairly often.
