And just as it did with Apple, Epic Games has now filed suit against Google. While Epic hasn't (yet) targeted Google with a parody video, the lawsuit does theatrically seize upon a famous marketing slogan from Google's past. As with the lawsuit against Apple, Epic emphasized that it is not seeking money from the lawsuit, or a special deal from Google similar to the one that it alleges currently exists with Activision, and possibly others, that it established "to allow Google to keep its monopolistic behavior publicly unchallenged."
"But Epic is not interested in any side deals that might benefit Epic alone while leaving Google's anti-competitive restraints intact," the suit says. "Instead, Epic is focused on opening up the Android ecosystem for the benefit of all developers and consumers."
Also notable is that, unlike iOS owners, Android users can still get Fortnite for their devices if they want it. Google allows its devices to access software through third-party marketplaces—that how Epic was able to offer Fortnite on Android without being on the Play Store previously—and so you can still pop around to epicgames.com and grab it directly.
