Didn’t Epic initially go around the Play Store and require you to download an installer from their website? And then it turned out that it was a good malware vector? That’s what I fear will happen if we get alternate stores: lax security leading to malware.
- Kuinox 6y agoMake it that you must sign the binaries. Google distribute/manage the keys, but are not allowed to veto legal things.
- colejohnson66 6y agoThat serves no purpose. If Google can’t veto any signature requests, it’s no different than having no signature at all; You’ll just have signed malware.
