      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 read an article saying Google declined to lower the 30% play store cut and these publications likely took that as an affirmation that Fortnite would not be on the platform.

          sorry it is out of context but making Ready Up button available after eliminated in Solo Mode is more important issue than being in google play store sir!

          Dare we say this was fake news? Probably earned some good Ad revenue along the way

          "We welcome any developer... and expect them to participate under the same terms as other developers". So any developer except Epic Games? I know Corporate PR Speak is complicated, but that seems almost intentionally misleading if Google plan to accept Epic's terms.
