YouTube celeb PewDiePie’s new app has shot to the top of the charts. The “PewDiePie’s Tuber Simulator” which resembles a “classic video-game [with] 8-bit-style graphics,” gamifies becoming a famous YouTuber. Players score points by racking up video views and subscribers, and can purchase currency in the game to acquire clothes, furniture, and pets. The app—which made it to the top of the App Store’s free-to-download game list immediately after launch—generated one million downloads in less than a day, overwhelming servers and causing issues that were still being fixed late last week.
