Not sure why companies try to push mobile games like that so fucking hard. Just because everyone has a phone doesn’t mean everyone wants to play games on them.
Also doesn’t help that practically all mobile games like that are created with the intention to focus on microtransactions and grindy paywalled and timegated content.
Can’t say anything of value was lost with sacking studios/devs for this kind of crap. It would only be better if it were the higher-ups coming up with this garbage for once.

There are at least two other mobile games in the same genre that did very well, so this one wasn’t a stretch.
