The Epic Games Store Officially Launches on Mobile Devices

MeekerThanBeaker , 4 hours ago

I have well over 300 games on Epic Games Store. I have played zero. I don’t know why I keep getting the free games every week, but Steam is where I keep buying. Eventually, I’ll play something on there.

I’m the same way but use heroic games launcher even on windows if that is what you run. Its lite on CPU and you have access to epic gog and epic. if you like the games you played then by them on steam then.

I only ever played hades which I bought for €5 when it was still €15 or more on steam. But even them I just added it as a 3rd party game to steam lol.

Don't buy on steam, you can use other vendors and just use steam. Don't feed the beast

Epic about to introduce absolutely pieces of shit crappy third party launchers even on mobile.

I hate Epic and won’t buy any of their games but I respect that they’ve taken Apple, Google, and Samsung to the cleaners over this shit.

Nothing prevented Epic from opening their own Appstore on Android. Heck, Amazon runs their own you can load on your Android phone if you want.

None of that means Google wasn’t exploiting anticompetitive measures to ensure everyone has to pay their exorbitant 30% tax in their app store. At least, that’s what the State of California determined when Epic took them to court.

I’m pointing out that what the article is showing (Epic opening their own app store) was always an option for them. The court ruling on Google’s app store didn’t enable that. It was always an option. This isn’t true on the Apple side, though. A non-Apple app store on iOS would be a significant change.

I know all of that. I’m not sure why you replied to me though.

Your comment was:

The article is talking about a new app store. A new app store wasn’t part of “this shit”. Yes, Epic sued and got changes to Google’s app store pricing, but that has nothing to do with this article’s topic. I’m not that invested in this conversation, but you asked why I responded and that’s why. I hope you have a fantastic day!

Months after the initial announcement, the prolific game and technology company announced today that the Epic Games Store is now available for iOS and Android devices.

Read better.

You mean the same fee every store under the sun charges? Epic is the only one that doesn’t, and they pretty much just do it for marketing.

They are not the good guys. They’re Elon Musk before he took the mask off, though it slips through now and then.

Yes, that one.

Didn’t say they were.

Don’t know what mask you speak of. Timmy has never had one.

TLDR: you can get it from the url epic.download

Looks like it only has Fortnite, Fall Guys and Rocket League on there for now

I don’t remember the last time i played a game on my phone tbh

helenslunch , 2 hours ago

Me either but it’s an ENORMOUS and very profitable industry.

Apple Made More Money on Games Than Xbox, Sony, Nintendo and Activision Combined in 2019

That’s JUST Apple and JUST mobile games.

The bastards actually built what looks to be a nice platform. I can’t wait to install a different launcher for every app on my phone!

JusticeForPorygon , 19 minutes ago

Has this not been a thing for a while? What app do I have on my phone?
