    It’s easy enough to install any third party appstore.

    There is one of the differences between the average Lemmy user vs the average android user.

    I could guarantee most people in the two English courses I’m in or the humanities course I’m in would struggle with how to install a 3rd party app store since they either use apple or aren’t super tech savvy.

      I don’t agree with this. Anybody can send a link right to the APK or even a QR code. The Epic Game Store could have a nice button right there that says install it and boom, you’re installed and off to the races. And unless you’re doing that Samsung bullshit, it’ll just work on the vast majority of devices after you click one pop-up box.

      I honestly don’t know anybody who couldn’t do that. Unless it is Samsung because Samsung does have that new bullshit.

      It’s one thing because you have to know about fdroid. You have to go explicitly look for fdroid, someone and so forth. But if you’re epic and you’re trying to push people to your game store, you’re going to have it right on your front page.
