Google refuses to budge on Play Store fees after Epic asks for Fortnite exemption

Google has dismissed the notion it would allow Epic Games to launch Fortnite on the Play Store without paying the standard fees.

“We have asked that Google not enforce its publicly stated expectation that products distributed through Google Play use Google’s payment service for in-app purchase.

Google has now quashed that notion, and says that it expects every single developer on the Google Play platform to “participate under the same terms.”
