Following its expulsion from the
Apple App Store, Fortnite has additionally been dismissed from the Google Play
Store for Android. Prior today, Epic Games snuck in an update for both the
iPhone and Android forms of the game that permitted clients to pay Epic
legitimately for in-application buys as opposed to utilizing the formally
endorsed a framework for the two stages.
Google’s statement:
The
open Android ecosystem lets developers distribute apps through multiple app
stores. For game developers who choose to use the Play Store, we have
consistent policies that are fair to developers and keep the store safe for
users. While Fortnite remains available on Android, we can no longer make it available
on Play because it violates our policies. However, we welcome the opportunity
to continue our discussions with Epic and bring Fortnite back to Google Play.
What followed was a wild ride:
Apple dismissed Fortnite from the App Store, at that point Epic sued Apple,
lastly, there was an in-game video ridiculing Apple's own 1984 business,
situating Apple itself as the monopolist.
Presently, Google is in the
discussion. Similarly, as with Apple, Google necessitates that games utilize the
Google Play framework for in-application buys. In spite of the fact that the
Play Store's principles are to some degree more remiss than Apple's with
regards to in-application buys, Google adheres to a meaningful boundary at
games.
You can still install Fortnite on
Android, in any case. Epic itself guides guests toward its site, where they can
either download Fortnite through the Epic Games application or by means of the
Samsung Galaxy Store on Samsung gadgets. This is not the same as the iPhone and
iPad, where it's currently difficult to introduce the game in the event that you
hadn't just done as such.
