Fortnite's Android version may be exclusive to the Samsung Galaxy Note9 for a month Comments

It's taking so long to be released on Androids that I'm no longer interested about it.
Maybe keeping it only for all flagships for one month, but ONLY for Galaxy Note 9??!!
Keep it exclusive instead. Rules of Survival is already good enough, with less cheaters and more game fixes lately.

However, spoofing a device isn't piracy. You make Google play think your device is another, but you pay for the game legitimately D:<

Nvidia sells plenty of exclusives on their Android platform as far as I know. This is literally the oldest business strategy in gaming. Get the ecosystem to pay for the promotion of your game. Stop pretending you're shocked that it's somehow a new thing today.

Yes, piracy has always been easy. That's also something you've always been able to do on your PC.

Android is the platform, so making it strictly locked for a certain device isn't really what I call a smooth move.
Plus, it's easy to bypass this if you have root by spoofing your device ;) much easier than running an exclusive game on PC via emulators.

But while I don't play Fortnite myself, timed exclusivity sucks. And it also doesn't make sense to make it a Note 9 exclusive for Samsung either. Bring it to the S9 and S9+ as well, people who already own those phones probably won't be upgrading 5 months later.

Almost all console games are launched on time limited exclusives on either of the platforms. Even PC games are made exclusives from time to time (with lots of groans in tow).

Wireless AKG's it is, then!
Battle Royale is fun and all that, but mostly on a big PC display with a mouse and a keyboard... :)

If only people with s9 note can play it then the game will be dead, no one will play it because only one phone has the game.

That's even worse than Qualcomm paying Apple to use their modems or Intel paying OEMs to use their SoCs inside their phones!
This could be the cheapest and most pathetic move in history!
And most sensible gamers would wait a month then use their current phones, and pay what they saved for more V bucks ;)

Exclusive game Fornite only for Galaxy Note9. This hype will die down fast. Gamer probably lining up for it for the sake of game. Great strategy. Or wait one month and all smartphone will have the game.
