Kris Jenner and the studio that made the Kim Kardashian game are being sued for $10 million
Either way, you should know that the game is immensely profitable.
"The free-to-play app-based game 'Kim Kardashian: Hollywood' has generated $43.3 million in sales from its launch on June 27 through the end of September," Variety reported in November 2014. No joke!
And now, the folks behind the game's creation - a development studio named Glu Mobile - as well as Kardashian's mother, Kris Jenner, are being sued by a game studio that claims that the concept of "Kim Kardashian: Hollywood" was stolen. The studio is seeking over $10 million in "damages."
The Associated Press reports that the lawsuit is based in copyright law, and it claims that a representative for Jenner - who acts as her daughter's manager - was shown "a detailed pitch for a Kardashian-themed game" that bears striking resemblance to what Glu Mobile eventually created and released as "Kim Kardashian: Hollywood."
The studio that's reportedly suing Jenner and Glu Mobile is named Just Games Interactive Entertainment, and it's created a variety of licensed games based on stuff ranging from the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" to "Mortal Kombat" spin-off games.
