Fortnite removed from Google Play Store

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.
