Epic Games has openly praised the App Store platform and the iPhone, but have been cooler to Android so far . While Epic is starting to consider the Android platform, they say there’s still some roadblocks for it compared to iOS platforms.
“One of the problems with the Android marketplace is hardware fragmentation, that s a really big issue. The other thing is marketplace fragmentation, there are so many different appstores out there,” said Epic Vice President Jay Wilbur. “The Android marketplace is a little more difficult [to develop for] because there is less control. I think the Android marketplace is robust I find it very easy to buy things on it, it s just that Apple has very tight control. So anything in the Apple world is perfect. It’s just perfect. We like that, we like that a lot. We know that it’s just gonna work.”
