Whoops, thanks, guess I was out of date!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.
