    I used that briefly 10+ years ago when I got a Fire Stick for like $5. I even installed it on one of my phones back then, since they had a lot of app giveaways and I was dumb.

    It was basically “Google Play but worse”. Like the Epic Games Store is to Steam.

      But there is now an Epic Store for phones, so it can be bad on two platforms instead of one.

        TBH I wish Steam had a mobile store. There are some games which exist on PC and Android, having cross buy and cross save between versions would be cool.

        Honestly with how shit google play store has become. Epic actually has a good chance to act as a platform for paid game/ported games.

      There’s still a small handful of apks I use that I have from the Amazon apk store. I’ma be pretty bummed if they stop working. The apks check the Amazon apk store to keep being used. At least I never spent money on them. Just free coins and apk giveaways.

        They likely prefer a hands off approach to marketplace content and that won’t really work with a smartphone app store (even with a gaming only focus).
