Remember the DMA is also targeting Google. I find it interesting that Epic didn't even bother with an Android store until now.

- extraduder_ire 3y agoThey did do third-party distribution of fortnite already, and still do based on the install flow shown on fortnite.com. (as well as the samsung app store) I have to assume they didn't foresee enough demand for an entire store, especially before android 12 added better support for third party app stores.
- quitit 3y agoIt sounds like you're disagreeing with the parent comment, but the information you've provided is in agreement with that parent comment. I.E. that Epic hasn't launched an Android store despite there being never being a technical limitation.
- troupo 3y agoAs any corporation, Epic is pursuing its own agenda and cares about their own dominance and their own profits only. They currently view the spat with Apple as advantageous to them. As soon as this is no longer the case, they will turn around and find someone else to pick a fight with.
