Because he's not interested in fame, he wants peace. And he's being sued by nintendo and he doesn't want to deal with them.

He's been getting a lot of hate on social media and he's claimed to have received death threats. He's also said he never wanted fame and that the money isn't that important to him. Also the game had some resemblance to the old Super Mario games and there was some rumors of Nintendo potentially suing him. So as of today he's said he will be taking it down. He will continue to develop other games though.

What i heard, is that people keep breaking their phones, tablets, etc, and some people are even suing because of that.

From what I read, He just couldn't handle the stress it brought upon his life. The link reveals what he tweeted about it all.
