3rd party app stores were installable through Google Play for a long time? You sure?

If they are only installable via Google doesn't that make them 2nd party?

You are this kind of guy that looks for second person shooters, aren't you?

It's a gap in the market!!!

Not really, no. Google is just the vendor for the app, not the developer. Most apps are 3rd party apps

Google is first party. The user is second party. Everyone else is third party.
