Fortnite had a new payment system integrated at the time, which does not match the guidelines of the stores. In a newly released court document (via the Verge) is now the speech that Google Epic Games wanted to buy "or completely" to stop the financial "contamination":

"For example, Google has gone so far to share its own monopoly profits with business partners to ensure that the competition is locked out; Google has also launched several projects in order to eradicate the financial, contamination ', which they have perceived by Epic and others and who would offer the consumers and developers competing alternatives - and Google has even thought about Epic Games Share or buy completely. "(Source: released court documents)

Google had offered Epic Games a special deal for Fortnite still appearing in the Google Play Store - Epic Games had rejected them. How to continue noticed in the document, Google feels the ability to be an app available on Android phone, but not appear in the Google Play Store, "Open underground".
