Confirmed by The Verge, who got a statement from Google:
> 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.

- crazysim 6y agoIt's definitely a statement that's very aware of the situation on iOS.
- Nuzzerino 6y agoSeems pretty rare to hear about Google having humans and not AI bots do the "discussing". Interesting that they don't trust the algorithm when it comes to allowing retailers on its video game store, but the algorithm is a-ok when it comes to performing blanket political censorship for the many millions who watch YouTube.
