Epic Games has finally added its hit game Fortnite on Google Play Store after a year of resistance, while reporting that she's not all that happy about having to do it. On the other hand, you can download Fortnite on your phone from the Google Play Store.
When Fortnite launched on mobile in 2018, Epic said it would only offer the game from its own websiteσελίδα. According to CEO Tim Sweeney, the company does not approve of Google taking 30% of sales made through its platform.
But Epic Games was forced to do so because Google has made it very difficult to run Android applications outside of its ecosystem. According to the company as reported by IGN:
After 18 months modes of Fortnite in Appliances with Android outside of the Google Play Store, we've come to a basic realization: Google puts software outside of Google Play at a disadvantage, through technical and business measures. Because of this, we released Fortnite for Android devices through the Google Play Store.
Of course if read the full statement you will see a bitterness. Whoever wrote it felt really wronged. The company also said it would continue to support Fortnite outside of the Google Play Store.
Of course, no one can say for sure whether the resistance to adding the game to the Google Play Store is due to moral or financial reasons. Despite the outrage or injustice, however, I suspect that Epic will gain many more players this way.
