Forum:How many players of The Sims series actually like Katy Perry?

I couldn't decide whether or not to put it in Central Park as it does touch on a few things related to a specific stuff pack but I'll post it in the off-topic forum anyway.

A not-so-wonderful idea by EA seems to be targeted at hardcore Katy Perry fans who'll buy whatever worthless product with her name on it. For EA, they see this as profit. But the thing I'm wondering is, do any of the players actually like Katy Perry or her music?

I personally don't mind her music so much as it's catchy but to base a whole stuff pack around her is as useful as buying an iMac and replacing the OS with Windows - it's pretty stupid. There's nothing wrong with EA experimenting with things trying to aim a product at a younger target audience rather than moving on with the current fanbase but they should really try and find a better approach to it. After all, having Katy Perry everywhere in Sunset Valley would be as irritating as Justin Bieber becoming my neighbor. If I wanted to have Katy Perry's music in my game, I'd set up a custom playlist for the game to access.

What do you guys think about Katy Perry and is she the best marketing technique for a game...assuming EA have to use a celebrity...? 20:40, May 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * I think it depends on how much of a hardcore fan you are if your willing to throw away so much cash. I like Katy Perry but there is no way in heck would I buy that crud. I have my standards as a fan, if I was a hardcore one I still wouldn't pay much money for the stuff pack. Starmoonie - Talk Here  20:46, May 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * Apparently Showtime: Katy Perry Edition sold pretty well. It may be a somewhat different story as it's just a full expansion plus Katy but it makes me interested in how well KPST will do. 20:54, May 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * Probably because of those stupid posters. A friend of mine had no choice but to buy that edition because it was the only ones sold where she lived at. It was crazy how much Katy Perry sells here! But eventually her fame will die down like Beyonce's will....now that is a WHOlE different story. xD Starmoonie - Talk Here  21:00, May 28, 2012 (UTC)

Katy Perry good or BAD!!!
I think katy Pery is bad- i never heard of her- she looks like a werido with lolpop boots no offence to her or her fans. EA tried use tatc sim 2 but fortunalytargerted at good companies two sweedish coppanies. One for funiture which is awsome and some cool trends and a catwalk. But Katy Peryy only offers sweet land!? WHAT NEXT- THE END OF SIM SERIES?
