Kim Kardashian's Hit Mobile Game to Close After Almost Ten Years

After nearly a decade of virtual fame and fortune, 'Kim Kardashian: Hollywood', the mobile game that once generated revenue of $700,000 a day, will be closing its digital doors. This decision marks the end of an era for the reality star’s foray into the mobile gaming industry, an area that saw her amassing a substantial fortune in addition to her entertainment ventures. The game allowed players to navigate the world of show business, gaining fans and A-list status through various quests and activities, all under the guidance of Kim Kardashian herself.

The Rise and Fall of a Mobile Empire

Launched in 2014, the game quickly became a phenomenon, with millions of downloads and significant daily earnings. It capitalized on Kim Kardashian’s already expansive fan base, offering an immersive experience into her world. However, the glamorous allure of the game seems to have waned over the years, with a decline in user interest and revenue, leading the publishers to this closure decision.

Impact on the Market

News of the game’s impending shutdown may resonate in the market, particularly with entities invested in the mobile gaming sector. Game closures often lead to a reallocation of resources and marketing efforts, potentially impacting the related stocks. Notably, Alphabet Inc. GOOG, the parent company of Google, owns the Play Store platform where the game was available for Android users. Alphabet Inc., as a major tech conglomerate, oversees various subsidiaries formerly part of Google and remains a significant player in the technology industry under the leadership of its co-founders.

The closure of 'Kim Kardashian: Hollywood' serves as a reminder of the ever-changing landscape of mobile entertainment and its impacts across technology companies including those like GOOG, with vested interests in the distribution and success of mobile applications.
