Good luck to them. It would be great it they could offer a better service to consumers, instead of rewarding developers who will go to most popular provider anyway or be on all of them for obvious reasons.

Oh great just what I needed. As if it wasn't already annoying enough to have this garbage on my pc for exactly one game.

I won't. Only third party stores I've had interest in have been F-droid for Foss apps which itself is already niche when it comes to people bothering to side load another store. Not sure how hard of a sell it is going to be to convince people to spend money on a third party store. At best I just see it for playing Fortnite.

Only way I see normal people trying it out is if Epic paid Facebook and Twitter a lot of money to only be available there.
