Why is the creator of Flappy Birds shutting down the game?

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.
