      Epic is wholeheartedly supporting NVIDIA’s GeForce NOW service with Fortnite and with Epic Games Store titles that choose to participate (including exclusives), and we’ll be improving the integration over time.

      It’s the most developer-friendly and publisher-friendly of the major streaming services, with zero tax on game revenue. Game companies who want to move the game industry towards a healthier state for everyone should be supporting this kind of service!

      Cloud streaming services will also be key players in ending the iOS and Google Play payment monopolies and their 30% taxes. Apple has decreed that these services aren’t allowed to exist on iOS, and therefore aren’t allowed to compete, which is megalomaniacal and won’t stand.

      Just waiting till later this year when Google is lobbying against Apple for blocking Stadia from iOS, while Google blocks GeForce NOW, xCloud, and Fortnite from Google Play, and this whole rotten structure begins collapsing in on itself.

      This right here. Apple even blocked Steam link in-home streaming because you could access your Steam store inside your own house from your phone. Valve had to remove the store option. Parsec, Stadia and GFN is unavailable too. And vice versa. What a mess.

      No PC gamer will buy the same game twice or subscribe to twenty different cloud services to get this feature. Tim being pro consumer. Say what you want about exclusives, but Epic is on the right track here.

      Hes VERY incorrect and lying about google blocking fortnite. He wanted a 100% cut of micro-transactions instead of the 30% industry standard. When they refused to give it to him, EPIC pulled out of the deal.

      Epic submitted Fortnite to Google Play using Epic payments rather than Google payments, and Google rejected it. It’s all documented here:https://www.androidauthority.com/epic-fortnite-google-play-1064156/ …

          After you asked for a higher cut of the micro transactions. You were asking for special privledges just so that you didn’t lose your valuable fortnite money. Google rejected it because they didn’t want that. They didn’t pull out of the deal, you did.

          Maybe Google should not use its monopoly to extort developers, be it Epic or a smaller game studio. You could do in-app-purchases without Google in the past, all that has changed is Google realized it can now profit more off of developers I am glad Epic is at least pushing back

          Tim, KUMO is correct. You knew Google wouldn't allow it on their store when you use your own IAP payment system. I'd love to see you try that with Apple. Don't pretend "we tried. THEY refused". You're a smart man so you knew...

          I don’t understand why you care so much. It’s google’s distribution channel and they’re rightfully entitled to their cut. Just distribute the APK direct – this is a waste of your prodigious talent.

          Then why did Apple accept it on their App Store?
