    Giant corporations, like billionaires, pivot to trying to control the rest of us when they get too big. Google/Alphabet is not exempt. I remember when their motto was “Don’t be evil.” Now they want to control what I can install on the personal devices I bought…

      Essentially saying we’ll just ‘install’ piracy, as FitGirl is a major player in the piracy scene (as far as games go, no clue if they do other things).

      Unless I’m wrong and Fitgirl now has repacks for major android/iOS apps that can be utilized through an existing app interface.

        And also it’s very probably a malicious app that does in fact not give you any pirated games.

        Probably adware at best. Wouldn’t doubt it also just sends you to non-play apk downloads of malware

          The thumbnail says “unofficial” and malicious apps tend to try and trick you into thinking it’s official. So I’m not sure it’s malicious.

            So them saying it’s unofficial makes you think it is more safe, since surely if it said official it’d be malicious?

            Sounds like putting unofficial there might just make even more people trust it then, good for a malicious app.
