Coldplay ‘Kiss Cam’ Couple’s Controversy Sparks Viral Game and NFT

A viral TikTok video of a CEO and HR executive’s kiss cam moment has led to unexpected consequences, including the CEO’s resignation from his dataops company. Songwriter Jonathan Mann, known for his daily song releases, created a game based on the incident that became a viral sensation. Using AI tools like ChatGPT, Mann developed the ‘Coldplay Canoodlers’ game, which features an 8-bit pixel style and a jumbotron in a stadium setting. The game, which he crafted in four hours, has generated significant attention, prompting Mann to later convert it into an NFT. This development highlights the growing intersection of pop culture, gaming, and blockchain technology, as well as raising questions about digital ownership and the ethical implications of viral content.
