Google seems in the right here. The disclosure was in line with their policy and I'm sure it made management feel oh so good to burn Fortnite in public for their decision to forego distribution in the Play Store.

But here's my personal take. As a consumer I want my phones to run secure apps on secure operating systems. This has a cost obviously which is fair to pass on to developers.

It's clear to me, with all the rogue apps and crap in the Play Store that Google is not investing enough in managing app store content.

Fortnite won this battle but in my book Apple will win the war.
