You mean develop a new phone, mobile operating system and compete with the 2 largest companies in the US? Why didn't they think of that? /s

  I understand. My point is that epic has a very high valuation. Their money is of course focused on gaming, but they could branch into the mobile market. When the iPhone came out Apple had, what 5% share of the desktop market and no phones? Yet they managed to dominate the mobile market. Nothing in this world is static.

  Why don't they though? Just fork Android and ask Asus or whatever to launch a phone with that OS preinstalled with the Epic App Store as the default app store. Like Amazon Fire OS.

    > Epic claims that Google forced phone manufacturer OnePlus to break off a deal that would have seen a special Fortnite launcher preinstalled on OnePlus phones — and demanded that another Android phonemaker, LG, abandon any plans to do the same. https://www.theverge.com/2020/8/13/21368395/fortnite-epic-games-oneplus-deal-google-play-store-lawsuit-lg https://www.theverge.com/2020/8/13/21368395/fortnite-epic-ga...

      I see, so that may be why Amazon went and created their own hardware too.

        If Amazon tried and wasn't successful, I doubt Epic would. The market is meant to be taken by a few players, it's such a huge undertaking. The hope is that those few players play fair.
