I mean, technically 3rd parties can already scrap packages from Google and repost them through various channels.
But yea, I find this point to be weirdest from all the ones that epic proposed.
- rendaw 2y agoIt's weird, but I get where it's coming from at least. You have a "smart" device, they don't have a public api (because), they have an app, but using the app requires google play services. It's not a choice between "google app store" and "3rd party app store", it's a choice between "have a phone that can access my devices, my bank, my credit card, etc" and "have a phone that can do nothing except browse the internet and make calls".
- Spivak 2y agoI think it's because Epic doesn't want to be a "second" app store. They want users to be able to completely throw away the Play store, use the Epic store and still get every app that has one of those "Get it on Google Play" badges which to users just means "works on Android."
