Kris Jenner and her agent strung along videogame developers just long enough to rip off their ideas and create the cash cow known as “Kim Kardashian: Hollywood” … according to a new lawsuit.
Kung Fu Factory, the developer, says it was contacted through a rep for the Kardashians in 2011, saying they were interested in creating a Kardashian-themed videogame.
According to the suit, obtained by TMZ, Kung Fu says it did the deed … presenting a proposal for the game to Kris’ rep.
Kung Fu says its version was very specific … including everything from how Kim, Khloe and Kourtney’s characters would look, to how the game would be played. However, months went by without any final decision from the Jenner/Kardashian camp … until Kung Fu finally heard the game talks were “dead.”
The videogame jocks say “Kim Kardashian: Hollywood” — released in 2014 — has many similarities to their copyrighted proposal.
Kung Fu wants unspecified damages, including profits from the game … which are huge. Forbes estimated it would haul in $200 mil in its first year alone!
Fun fact: The Jenner/Kardshians have a type (and we don’t mean black). Kris’ agent mentioned in the suit is named Brian Siegrest — who sounds like the evil twin of Ryan Seacrest, who of course is executive producer of ‘KUWTK.’
