Technology giant Google has rejected an attempt by Epic Games to list its hit online game Fortnite on the Google Play Store without paying the standard app charge.
It is the latest in a long-running dispute between the two companies, which revolves around the 30 per cent fee Google takes for Android apps listed on its official app store. It also covers in-app purchases, which free-to-play games like Fortnite rely upon for revenue.
In a statement to The Independent, Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney said that the charge was unfair for all app developers, considering the market dominance of the Play Store.
