Guarantee Epic saw this coming, too, and now it gets to say "That's okay! Google has its rules, but it lets us sideload apps — and that's what Apple should let us do too." This isn't about the App Store tax for Fortnite, it's about getting out of the App Store entirely — PolitiTweet.org

UPDATE: Epic Games is now suing Google, along with Apple, following Fortnite's removal from app stores. https://t.co/QZ5MAoqmeK
