    Except Google is framing the Apple App store as an alternative to the Google Play store, which… doesn’t really make sense… Especially in this context, they weren’t offering money to release fortnite on the Play store over the App store, they were offering money to release on the play store instead of as a standalone or in a competing store.

      It absolutely makes sense. There are people that will make their Android vs iPhone purchasing decision based on which platform “has Fortnite” (in it’s in the default app store that people actually use).

        but they weren’t offering money for platform exclusivity, they were offering money for store exclusivity on the platform
