FORTNITE bans users with root, UB, xposed framework

[freaky2xd]

The new Fortnite Game for Android detects system modifications like having root or an unlocked bootloader, in addition to that it makes a SafetyNet check, which means no Fortnite for root users....
I know, it's just a game but I thought you should know, I found out about it today after indtalling it.

I can't even install it. The installer keeps crashing on me!

He "block" user having Root/Not Safety Pass, don't "Ban", not the same thing

If you unroot, clean install your device stock, you can play isn't it?

Wouldn't install it anyway tbh, purely for them circumventing the Play Store, that's highly dangerous, there'll be all sorts of malicious packages out there pretending to be legit copies. Plus PUBG4LYFE!

I got the following message "after too many attempts your account might get banned"

Yes you are banned BECAUSE you have try to connect to the Fornite server so many times, not because you have try once time to connect with a device rooted

And i think it's a temporary ban (some minutes/hours)

I mean, losing 30% of potentially ~100 millions $/mo from mobile just to stay on Google Play is a stupid business decision. It's simple enough: you want the game, you go on Epic's website. If people get caught downloading another version of the APK that contains a virus, they're dumb (in the end, it's their problem).
