The thing about exclusives is that you lose a lot of hype. And as this is a marketing gimmick for Fallout 4, I expect them to be losing a lot of possibly hype by not having Fallout Shlter ready to go for Android at the same time as iOS.

It also shows how much they care about a large portion of their fan base. I know over 100 people who love the Fallout games in my electrical engineering courses and I think 5 of them have an iPad or iPhone. As for tablets, most of us who have them are either using a Surface Pro (1, 2, or 3) or some Android tablet with an active digitzer because they take notes on their tablets. I'm one of the few who has just a plain old Android tablet (Nexus 10) without an active digitzer.

So yeah. They're excluding a large portion of their fanbase to say the least.

LOL you are thinking of not getting Fallout 4 because of a stupid free app? HAHAHAHAH LOLOLOLOL Funniest thing I have heard all day.

This group of 100 people that supposedly exists represents a large portion of their fanbase.

Dumb question ... I know ... but I'm old. Well that's my excuse anyway.

I don't have a smart phone. I have an old flip phone that acts as a phone. yeah.

Anyway I would love to play this thing and my have has a Ipad mini. Would this game work on that? If so I may have to ... borrow it.

Thanks.

Heh. My husband and I are probably the only two people left in the world that don't own any sort of cell phone. A tablet version would be great!

Edit: The app store says it's for both iPad and iPhone--so perhaps the Android version will be for tablets as well, also.

Great. I'll have to call home today while I'm at work and tell my daughter to find her mother's iPad and get it charged up and updated (as it probably needs it). Course I already have a backlog of 3DS games, so I just may have to take some time off work...

I'm in the "who gives a [censored]" camp. It's a mobile game...

It's totally commonplace to launch on App store first, then develop for Android second. It's so much easier for app developers to tackle IOS first since their number of devices is so limited. There are hundreds of various Android phones and phone-makers all supporting different versions of the Android OS - developing and then troubleshooting them all takes much longer.

I'm happy with the E3 presentation for now, not having access to the app doesn't sour me.

OP, sorry to hear this but it's really just a simple app. All you do is built a Vault, assign Dwellers to duties and hope they all don't die catastrophically. The main course is Fallout 4.

Being a Windows Phone user I'm used to be left out of some intresting apps and games (not that play much mobile games at all, but still).

But this time I must say it hurts a bit since this seems really intresting. And on top of that it's a Fallout-based game.

I am more hyped by it than by Fo4...
