Flexion and EA have once again teamed up to expand the reach of EA's mobile game catalog to alternative app stores, enhancing accessibility for users who don't rely on Google Play or the iOS App Store. This move marks a significant shift in how major publishers view the potential of platforms beyond Apple and Google.
The rise of alternative app stores has been a hot topic, especially since Apple was compelled to open its ecosystem to these platforms in regions like the EU. Flexion, known for bringing Candy Crush Solitaire to alternative app stores, is now extending this partnership with EA to include a broader selection of the publisher's mobile games.
You might be wondering what this means for you as a mobile gamer. Traditionally, the iOS App Store and Google Play have been the primary avenues for mobile game distribution. However, recent legal battles have prompted Apple and Google to reconsider some of their anti-competitive practices, paving the way for alternative app stores to flourish. For gamers, this translates to exciting new incentives designed to attract users to these platforms.
Take the Epic Games Store, for instance, with its renowned free game program. While it's unlikely that the platforms Flexion is working with will match this generosity, we can expect a more relaxed approach to policies that Apple and Google have historically been strict about.
Looking ahead, EA's involvement is telling. As one of the gaming industry's giants, known for acquiring smaller developers, their move towards alternative app stores signals a broader trend that other companies are likely to follow. While specifics on which EA games will be available on these new platforms remain under wraps, speculation includes titles like Diablo Immortal and other Candy Crush series entries.
