Fortnite for Android will probably not use Google Play Store for distribution forever

Epic created a new trend by bypassing Google Play Store and the online tweeting may seal this trend

Tim Sweeney, CEO of Epic Games has accused Google of acting irresponsibly by exposing a flaw in the game’s security to score “cheap PR points.”

The game Fortnite finally came to Android phones this summer, and Epic Games decided not to host it through Google Play app store to avoid Google's 30% cut.

Very shortly after the release, a Google engineer publicly identified a weakness in the security of the game for Android. It is easy for Google to identify this weakness because they are in the business of supporting the Android app ecosystem.

Tim Sweeney said revealing the flaw so quickly did nothing but give hackers a chance to exploit it. He is wrong. Hackers are always looking for the latest craze and memes to piggy ride their malicious payload. This game is already the target once the Android version was announced.
