I'm torn on this one.

I agreed with epic when they made this argument with Apple but that's because the App Store was the only way around.

Epic could just distribute an APK they build themselves. They just can't use the play store. Simple link on a website. Or the app. Doesn't the desktop launcher auto update?

Android is a lot more open so it's just weird to cry foul here but I also understand it does have an effect on their visibility.
