Actress Lindsay Lohan has become the heroine of a game about herself. Together with the studio Space Inch, she released the shareware title Lindsay Lohan’s The Price of Fame on iOS and Android.
The game repeats the plot of Kim Kardashian: Hollywood. The user must make his character popular by any means. Lindsay Lohan’s The Price of Fame suggests absurd or scandalous ways to achieve this goal: to enlarge lips, to be caught for drunk driving or to go to a rehabilitation clinic for treatment. You can try to achieve fame not only in the city, but also, for example, in the ocean or on your own fictional planet. Periodically, Lohan herself appears in the game and gives advice.
Lindsay Lohan’s The Price of Fame copies the plot of the game about a socialite in Hollywood, but he is still far from the success of the original. According to App Annie, both titles in the American App Store started from approximately the same positions: Lindsay Lohan’s The Price of Fame was on the 401st place, Kim Kardashian: Hollywood – on 426. The very next day, the title from Kardashian took first place and then held it for a long time, and the game from Lohan moved to 395 place after the launch. After that, the performance of the title only fell.

The number of downloads of Lindsay Lohan’s The Price of Fame game in the American App Store from December 12 to December 14, 2014 (according to App Annie)
The reason for this difference, according to the Venturebeat resource, was information support. Kim Kardashian has about 26.4 million followers on Twitter, and Lohan has 8 million. More importantly, the frequency of mentioning a socialite on the web is much higher.

Thus, Venturebeat believes, the conclusion suggests itself. Despite the fact that the idea of getting a star and thus bringing the game to the top is tempting, the celebrity herself should be chosen carefully to participate in the title, because the success of the game depends on her.
Kim Kardashian: Hollywood in the first few months, she earned her creators more than $ 50 million and thereby launched a series of games with the participation of stars. FIFA players, NFL members and even David Hasselhoff managed to try their hand after Kardashian in the mobile gaming industry.
