minus-square/home/pineapplelover@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up30arrow-down10·10 months agoHuh? They could just do a Fortnite.apk
minus-squareCethin@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up47arrow-down3·10 months agoNo the point. Most users won’t install anything not on the app store.
minus-squarePetter1@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up14arrow-down5·10 months agoYea, but how is that a monopoly? There is even a fullon android AppStore from Amazon
minus-squareshrugal@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up19arrow-down3·10 months agoA monopoly is about market share and access to a market, “there is also …” doesn’t cut it in that discussion.

minus-squareElPussyKangaroo@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·10 months agoFdroid is for open source apps. Fortnite is anything but.
minus-squareRogueBanana@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·10 months agoThat was my point? Make it as in make its way to fdroid due to their restrictions.
minus-squareElPussyKangaroo@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·10 months agoAh. My bad. I misread it.
minus-squareRose@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·10 months agoI don’t think Epic ask that Fortnite is on any store but their own. They want their fully capable launcher on the dominant store.
minus-squareRogueBanana@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoIk I was referring to previous comment mate. They were suggesting there are alternatives like fdroid.
