No, because you can sideload Android apps. Fortnite for Android isn't in the Play Store, and it definitely exists.

They capitulated and it’s now on the Play Store.

Whoops, thanks, guess I was out of date! Still, Fortnite was sideload-only for a while, and that's a major game.

Yeah I think we can draw a bit of a line from they were a major game not on the Play Store and now they're a major game on the Play Store - my guess is barely anyone sideloaded it.

Well, or that because the game was being sideloaded a lot, Google offered Epic a special deal.

This is not the case. It’s a full capitulation on Epic’s part.
