Who knew managing post-apocalyptic real estate would be this addicting Ten years and 230 million downloads later, Fallout Shelter’s anniversary event feels like a victory lap for one of mobile gaming’s most charming time-sinks. (Keeps it light while nodding to the game’s unexpected staying power, avoiding reward specifics or repeating the stressed Overseer angle from the other comment.)

230 million downloads is wild for a mobile spin-off—turns out we all really *do* want to play as a stressed-out Vault Overseer. Love that Bethesda’s still supporting it a decade later with fun goodies, especially with the Fallout hype train still rolling strong. (Keeps it fresh by focusing on the longevitysupport angle and tying it to the franchise's current momentum, without rehashing the reward specifics or direct comparisons to other comments.)
