The last part of the GP comment still stands: > which of course led to hundreds of fake and infected apps on the net, harming users. > If you just want to play Fortnite on your iPhone and don't care about the App Store then the latter option is a better. Not unless you get a Fortnite that has an ad at the bottom of the screen and ships as much PII as it can to some third-party company, or offers 2x v-bucks and steals CC info. |

The app stores are facilitating that in a way though. They're keeping the users as dumb as possible and not making any effort to differentiate between legitimate or malicious apps that are sideloaded.
If it were a matter of going to epicgames.com, clicking "Install for Android", and confirming a prompt that says "You're about to install an app from epicgames.com", I think it would be a lot easier to train users to understand that.
