Coldplay Canoodlers: Game Developer Recreates Astronomer CEO Scandal

DIGITAL PHABLET – A recent incident captured by a kiss cam during a Coldplay concert went viral, featuring the CEO of Astronomer, Andy Byron, and the head of HR, Kristin Cabot, in a compromising moment. This event inspired a game developer to create a pixel-art game titled “Coldplay Canoodlers.”

The kiss cam, which scanned through numerous concert-goers, unexpectedly focused on Byron and Cabot, leading to an awkward situation for those around them as well as the band on stage. Coldplay’s lead vocalist humorously commented that the pair looked either “shy” or like they were “having an affair.”

This cringeworthy moment quickly gained traction on social media, resulting in an outpouring of memes, commentary, and digital mockery, as well as the development of the game “Coldplay Canoodlers” by game designer and musician Johnathan Mann.
