Looks like Beyonce star power won’t get her out of this kind of trouble.
A New York Magazine (Vulture.com), has a report out that the widely popular celebrity singer is being sued for breaching a contract she had with video game production company Gate Five.
Gate Five and Beyonce had a contract in principle to create a “Motion-sensing dance” video game, which would feature and be named after the singer.
Stay Power: Beyonce would have been the title of the game had Beyonce kept her end of the agreement. And in the end the company is suing her for 100 million dollars, stating that in the beginning of working on the game, Beyonce was;
Being a “diva” and “too erratic to do business with” and “a bad faith breach of contract so callous that, on what appeared to be a whim, she destroyed Gate Five’s business and drove 70 people into unemployment, the week before Christmas.”
No comment has been given by Beyonce or her reps. With many celebrities coming out with video games based on motion technology (Xbox Kinect, Playstation Move and Nintendo’s Wii), only a handful have actually been success in the eyes of consumers.
Maybe Beyonce realized that she wasn’t going to beat Michael Jackson’s recent released game for the big three consoles and thought she could use her Diva-like ways to back out of what could have been a losing cause in her eyes.
