Are you kidding me?! I thought people were joking about this being a mobile game sigh

Going by the trailer and the description, this is just FNAF Alien Edition, which makes this annoucement even more dissapointing.

This new style of "teasing" a game and then revealing it to being a mobile game is pretty disgusting. Just tell us from the conception stages of what your game is going to be. if we dislike it from the get-go then too bad, maybe make a game we actually want to play, rather than to make only money.
