Clasher Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 I don't believe money would have a role to play in this as the video game developers and companies make quite a lot of money from their games. Well, I feel this has to do with the companies not endorsing or meeting with this celebs to take up jobs at the game. If you meet someone and offer a good pay be it any celeb they would certainly take up the job, as video game is relatively a large industry. The developers should Start doing more collaborations with these celebs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand You're right about working with celebrities helping games to sell more because of their publicity but I think that in most cases, gamers don't even look at it as long as the games offers a good gameplay, they don't mind who's in it.

Justin11 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 At times celebrities influences a particular video game to record a very high sales. Michael Jackson persuaded me to go for the moon walker, and the game recorded a high level of sales, which couldn't have been possible if Michael wasn't featured in it's cover as the main character.

And their is no way he wouldn't influence such kind of game, because he's just as influential like any other popular celebrity today. Moon walker rose to prominence with Michael's presence in the game, even up to this day, I'm still playing the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin11 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Which is inevitable, everyone knows he/she gonna die, but dying too soon, it isn't nice, watching those celebrities that made history around gaming dying young, Is just forbidden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
