However, that has backfired spectacularly and I can't help but laugh at them. Expand Lol, that's laughable indeed, cos it wouldn't work. Why won't 🍎 and Google earn from when their game is listed on their app store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin11 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 It's not possible nah, that's not how business works. When it comes to fortnite removal from each of those stores, you'll come to know that, greediness played a part in the side of fortnite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
