"a lot" means less than 0.01% of android users.

And stuff like fortnite would never make it to fdroid as well. People seem to jump through so many hoops to not admit the obvious monopoly in play.

Fdroid is for open source apps. Fortnite is anything but.

That was my point? Make it as in make its way to fdroid due to their restrictions.

[–] ElPussyKangaroo@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Ah. My bad. I misread it.

I don't think Epic ask that Fortnite is on any store but their own. They want their fully capable launcher on the dominant store.

Ik I was referring to previous comment mate. They were suggesting there are alternatives like fdroid.
