I don't blame Epic at all for avoiding the Play store. I find it patently unacceptable that two large tech companies now act as gatekeepers for software releases. Sure, it provides extra security, but at a heavy cost. Between Facebook, Google, and Apple the vast majority of the public's digital speech (software and written language) are filtered through large corporations with immense power and few regulations. This feels very, very scary to me.
It looks like the Fortnite APK is 1.88GB. I don't have familiarity with the Android platform, can you update via patches (over a full binary download)? If updates are anywhere near that size, a 7 day disclosure after patch is patently irresponsible (play store or not). This smells like a cheap PR play by Google.
