It’s funny how in one moment technology can fill me with immense pride in the human race and its accomplishments and, in another moment, it can completely destroy any faith I had in humanity. An example of the latter moment would be the fact that the makers behind the stupidly successful Kim Kardashian: Hollywood have teamed up with Katy Perry for another game.
Mobile game developer Glu Mobile Inc said it would partner with top-selling singer Katy Perry to develop a new mobile game, which will include the “Firework” singer’s voice and likeness. The company, known for its popular “Kim Kardashian: Hollywood” game, said it expects to release the game in the fourth quarter. Shares of Glu, which also reported a 78 percent jump in fourth-quarter adjusted revenue, rose 14 percent to $4.39 in extended trading. Katy Perry, who hosted the Super Bowl XLIX Halftime Show on Sunday, is known for hit singles such as “Teenage Dream,” “E.T.” and “Roar.” “Kim Kardashian: Hollywood” is a free-to-download mobile game where the user can create a celebrity avatar and interact with celebrities in a virtual world filled with parties, paparazzi and luxury homes.
