"Katy Perry Pop," the second big celebrity-themed game from Glu Mobile (NASDAQ:GLUU), launched last week with more of a meow than a roar, casting doubt on Glu's business plans.
The game starring pop star Perry, whose hit songs include "Firework" and "Roar," debuted on Thursday. Glu had hoped "Katy Perry Pop" would continue the success it found with "Kim Kardashian: Hollywood," a title based on the reality-TV star. But the new title has lagged on the Apple App Store and Alphabet's Google Play store.
As of Monday afternoon, "Katy Perry Pop" was No. 54 (currently #144) among free iPhone games on the Apple App Store and No. 117 on the comparable Google Play chart. "Katy Perry Pop" is a freemium game, which means it's free to download and play, but offers in-app purchases.
What's worse, users posted numerous reviews claiming the game is glitchy and crashes frequently. Others said the game play is dull and repetitive. In the game, Perry guides wannabe pop stars on the road to stardom in the music industry.
Glu stock fell over 19% to 2.38 on the stock market today. That's its lowest level in more than two years. In May, Glu traded as high as 7.03.
Not Katy killing the stocks of this new company. Stock poison.
Thanks for posting this, Kayla. I liked it. Very mellow, but not boring. Moody, but not depressing.
SYG, post more like it. Go. Definitely good to nod and sway back and forth to.
They would bring tens of thousands of guests daily and everytime they would post there would be an additional 12 pages of quotes saying "omg you saved my life!!!1!!1!1!"
I don't mean to be rude but I swear half of the Demi Lovato stans post just like she talks, especially when it comes to being offended or on a social issue.
Wait, Katy's app is completely free and it's still not being downloaded even just for ***** and giggles. At least the ARTPOP app went #1 on the app store.
It is late because, just like with the Applause video unfortunately, I was given a week to plan and execute it. It is very devastating for someone like me, I devote every moment of my life to creating fantasies for you. All my my most successful videos were planned over a period of time when I was rested and my creativity was honored. Those who have betrayed me gravely mismanaged my time and health and left me on my own to damage control any problems that ensued as a result. Millions of dollars are not enough for some people. They want billions. Then they need trillions. I was not enough for some people. They wanted more. I am very grateful to the photographers and designers who have always stood by me to make sure my fans are never aware of the things that happen behind the scenes, but unfortunately after my surgery I was too sick, too tired, and too sad to control the damage on my own. My label was not aware that this was going on. The next few months of ARTPOP will truly be its beginning. Because those who did not care about ARTPOP's success are now gone, and the dreams I have been planning can now come to fruition. Please forgive me that I did not foresee this coming, I never thought after all the years of hard work that those I called friends and partners would ever care so little at a time I needed them the most. Give me a chance to show you the meaning of seeing art all around you. Open your hearts to me again that I may show you the joy of us coming together through our talents, that we are stronger as a unit than when we are alone. Let me be for you the Goddess that I know I truly am, let me show you the visions that have been in my mind for two years. I love you. Forgive me monsters. Forgive me ARTPOP. You are my whole world.
Lord, Natalia and Cynthia must've had to PEEL her AWAY from the computer.
She really needs to kill herself. She takes being a pop star way too seriously.
Gaga, take one of your stiletto heels and shove it with great force into your neck.
