    This is a poor decision from Epic. It's going to result in millions of kids making their phones/tablets less secure to download #Fortnitehttps://techcrunch.com/2018/08/03/epic-games-sidesteps-the-play-store-with-fortnite-for-android-launch/ …

        Here, for the many people responding to this tweet, is why it's a terrible idea to avoid the Google Play Storehttps://bigtechquestion.com/2018/08/06/gaming/why-is-it-dangerous-for-fortnite-to-skip-the-google-play-store/ …

        They will be fine. I am glad Epic made this decision. The 30% Google, Apple and Amazon charge for basicallly doing nothing is almost criminal.

        “Basically doing nothing” except for giving you a platform to reach hundreds of millions of people and also taking care of payment processing, server hosting, etc. But okay sure, “nothing”. Why do you think google charges a lot to advertise? because it’s an enormous platform.

        If you priced out what they actually do based on real costs it would be nominal. If you make a $100 on Google Play because of one app, do you really think it costs $30 to host a file less than 50 mb? Do you think payment processing costs anywhere near $30 to process $100?

        Epic's launcher and game portal d/l center is pretty legit, totally safe

        I think the problem is more so kids ending up on a fake website and downloading harmful files.

        Ironically it's Google's search results that would cause that to happen with them promoting scams so often above the actual site. Epic isn't controlling the search results.

        You and I know that, but 8 year olds might not. This reminds me of the crypto space where even smartish investors get scammed on fake exchanges everyday through Google search results or a minor misspelling in URL.

        Sure, but if you made a list of the top 5 priorities for Epic’s business growth, “making sure kids tablets are secure” wouldn’t be on it. And I’m OK with that. That was never what Epic promised me as a dad.

        How would an installer from epic put their devices at risk. So long as it’s not a fake they are fine.

        Kids be sniffing condoms tho. I’m sure someone will create a fake apk and load the tablet with adware/harmful stuff. Play protect is good though.

        Fake APKs have probably existed since the day the game dropped on console

        Maybe Google shouldn’t charge 30%. Google made the poor decision a long time ago
