    The proliferation of these false headlines is odd. Epic submitted Fortnite for final release on Google Play this morning at 4am, and it's in the queue, with the status "We're currently reviewing your app."https://www.newsweek.com/fortnite-google-play-store-rejected-android-devices-1476910 …

        This is the normal process for first-time game submissions. Though Fortnite has been available from our web site and the Samsung store for a while, this is the first release submission to Google Play.

        A Google spokesman provided the comment below to the publications. It's a summary of features, mission, and wishes, and neither policy statement nor a rejection of Fortnite.pic.twitter.com/sMCxMVI6Z5

        Please be patient and give Google time to deliberate on what is certainly a major decision for the future of the tech industry: whether platforms support ecosystems open to fair competition, or are resource monopolies granting special rights and privileges for themselves.

        All signs point to an inevitable opening, and to the timeliness of doing it now. The big decision is whether it will be done now by great software engineers, or a bit later by courts and regulators throughout a prolonged period of industry malaise. Let the engineers do it!

        I hate that I have to download most/all of my games from Google play, as it is literally @Steam for phones. Apple already monopolized their apps with proprietary software. I hoped Android was a bit more free and open, and continues toward that direction.

        Wut. Sure there isn't really any way to compete with Google on their own OS, but geez. Comparing Steam to it makes zero sense

        I lile the thing you doing with your own launcher, it kerps the anti-google people happy. Feels more unique too, as you have more control over the updates, etc.

        there should be a system that ranks news sites and journalists with legitimacy score so that these sites just don't randomly post stuff just to get some clicks...these media sites and news outlets just say anything they want.
