Support for Epic never took root anywhere.

Because everyone can see Epic for what they are: a billion dollar company who wants their own monopoly.

Do you think Fortnite will be available on competing stores ?

The play store seems to indicate this to be the case. Epic released Fortnite on both their own store, and the play store no?

What about Steam, and why not?

What if I don’t want to instal Epic’s store but still play Fortnite?

Where is my “user choice”?

Buy a different game from another developer.

Cool, in the same vein they can fuck off from iPhones if they don't like the conditions.
