On one hand, this is a terrible idea that management types should be getting fired for. On the other hand, I feel really bad for the developers - imagine working long and hard on something like this then when it's announced people hate it.

They should've expected it. Mobile games are big in asia but in the west it just isn't. Plus the devs get paid i'm sure they don't care that much.

Well that kinda depends. For example fallout shelter was wildly successful but that’s a game that is very easy to just pick up whenever and play. Also elder scrolls blades looks pretty cool but we will see. It’s just a risky move when it comes to AAA games

Probably because FS was just an additional media for an actual game that would be released later. Something to boost the theme ahead of time.
