I can't remember the name when I look it up online. Does anyone remember ? The game was exactly like KKH, except there was no Kim. It was the "template" for the game before Glu began to work with celebrities began and have them create their own version (Kim, Kendall and Kylie, Nicki Minaj) etc. You worked for a café instead of So Chic. But you still dreamt of making it big in Hollywood. There was a Willow Pape type of rival.
I've never went very far into the game but it coexisted with KKH for quite some time. I assume that the development for KKH put this game in the backburner and Glu stopped working on it.
I'm kind of wondering (delusional me perhaps) if Glu mobile is not going to try and revamp this game from scratch. We all know Kim dropped/didn't renew her contract with Glu. Of course, we don't know what were the details of her contract. But it's very possible that after a certain year, Glu would no longer be able to use her name.
I personally seriously doubt KKH was not profitable. Even after it declined in popularity, it still had a stable and active fanbase that spent a lot of money on the game, and I know so many games that do not have anywhere near the popularity of KKH that are still going strong after years. I mean just look at the other Glu games ! Am I supposed to believe that KKH was the only one in the red ?
My theory is that Glu has closed the game, is going to go radio silence for the next 2-3 years so they can generate a desire for a similar game, then come back with a new game. I doubt it will be with another celebrity (celebrity culture is not what it was back then), but simply another KKH look alike. REMEMBER that this is the same company that released like 10 versions of this game with many different celebrities, including Katy Perry and Britney Spears ! They are absolutely capable of doing it again.
The main reason why i BELIEVE in this theory is look at KKH socials. They stopped promoting the game a LONG time ago. If the game was dying, wouldn't they have tried to promote the game a bit, use tiktok to show off the game ? Wouldn't they have used some viral memes attached around the Kardashian name (like "nobody wants to work these days") etc ? Instead they just disappeared everywhere 1-2 years before we got any announcement. In my opinion, this was Glu letting the time for their contract run out, whilst knowing they have another game lined up. BELIEVE ! i will be proven right. (not delusional).
Atp I'm starting to make theories about what could've happened if the game was still going on 😭🤚🏻 Make some theories y'all I'm bored I wanna see what you guys can cook up😔🙏🏻🙏🏻
I started experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms again😭 girls, who are planning to make a game based on kkh - please do it faster I can’t wait anymore. KKH was superior, I hope there will be a game that’s pretty much the same as kkh but with improvements. But the design, dolls, clothes, boxes, sys - I miss it all so much 💔
I know we are all still currently mourning the game. But 10 years is impressive especially when other celebrity games died within the same year of release.. Britney Spears was a good contender almost lasted 5 years if I’m not mistaken
