Hello, I was wondering if any parts of Firebase are available to be used in Desktop Games using Unreal Engine & C++.

As firebase is being advertised as a mobile solution only, and in case it would possible to be used in some way for PC games, would there any legal implications for using firebase in non-mobile, PC only, games?

Hi Carles,

We don't currently ship Firebase SDKs for PC platforms - though we are working on a Firestore C++ implementation (see github) .  If you wanted to use the REST APIs for some of our services you could do so, though you would need to build your own SDK.  In terms of legal implications, that's something you would need to work through with your own counsel, i.e evaluate Firebase's terms of service and see whether it works for your application.

Cheers,
Stewart
