Flexion and EA to partner up and bring the publisher’s hit mobile catalogue to alternative app stores

  • Flexion and EA have partnered up once more to bring the latter’s mobile catalogue to alt app stores
  • That means more accessibility for those not using Google Play or the iOS App Store
  • And a major sea change for how big publishers are perceiving the possibility of life beyond Apple and Google

2021 has been a significant year for the rise of non-Apple store apps. With Apple being compelled to welcome them in regions like the EU, it’s become a hot topic everywhere. And now, Flexion, who previously collaborated with King to bring Candy Crush Solitaire to alternative app stores, has teamed up again – this time with Electronic Arts (EA) – to make the publisher’s mobile game library available on these alternative marketplaces as well!

Indeed, I understand your curiosity about how this affects you. To clarify, so far, the primary options for publishing mobile games have been limited to either the Apple iOS App Store or Google Play.

these new platforms are offering attractive incentives to draw us in.


Epic

As a gaming enthusiast, I’m always on the lookout for great deals, and one place I frequently find them is the Epic Games Store with their free game program. It’s not likely other platforms where Flexion is planning to bring EA’s back-catalog will match that level of generosity, but I’m confident there’ll be more leniency in terms of policies compared to what Apple and Google have previously turned down.

In essence, over time, Electronic Arts (EA) are one of the largest entities in the gaming industry. They tend to acquire smaller game developers and leave only the remains behind. If they perceive the direction the wind is moving, it generally implies smooth sailing for other developers as well.

Currently, it’s uncertain which specific games will be available on their upcoming alternative app store lineup. However, I have some suggestions like Diablo Immortal and also the popular Candy Crush series.
