Aurora is just a frontend for Google play so I guess that depends on your interpretation
Seems like a distinction without a difference.
If I can install an app via APK Mirror, and have it listed in Aurora as a Play Store app, then the functionality already exists.
This is a symptom of once again, Epic doing the bare fucking minimum and expecting to play with the big boys (but they can't unless they cry to an adult).
Epic feels they're entitled to have Google offer them services, which is so on brand at this point, I don't know why I'm surprised.
They complain about monopolies but lock games behind exclusivity rights and break communities apart with patches which change the matchmaking formulas which worked until they fucked with it (Rocket League and Payday 2).
God damn I hate Epic. They're worse than EA, which says a lot.
