Friday night was harsh for people trying to make it in Hollywood.
"Kim Kardashian: Hollywood," the popular new mobile game that could rake in around $85 million this year for its namesake, went offline for a little while on Friday. And people were not happy about it.
"Kim Kardashian: Hollywood" is a choose-your-own-adventure-style game where you go on photo shoots, go on dates, and rub elbows with Hollywood elite in order to climb the ranks and become an A-list celebrity.
But early in the evening, dreams of becoming a starlet were dashed. The games servers crashed, and people were unable to sign in and play.
Some fans tweeted out threats in response to the game being broken.
Keep on with this broken game and I won't watch KUWTK ever again. @KimKardashian

And one lucky fan seems to have missed all the commotion.
