Support for those without Google Play

Post by Thunderhop » Tue Sep 29, 2015 4:01 am

Someone should really try to help people without Google Play get this app. Just because you don't have Google Play, doesn't mean you can't pay. The developers are losing a lot of money due to this, and they created such a wonderful product too. Sorry for not giving any ideas as to how to do this, but hey it's what a forum is for. :D

You are not the firat to ask this nor will you be the last.

Here is a good thread on the topic alternate distribution

The short and long of it is....if you want DraStic in a different store it has to...
*1 have a licensing system.
*2 have DRM that is not trivial to defeat (ie you have to edit the binary to get it to work.
*3 it should hit a big enough market to be worth it.

That is the basics of what the one of the developer's says would be required of any place DraStic could be sold.

To be honest noone knows of a atore that is better then Google play fpr doing these things and unless you live in a restricted country (China) it is generally a lot simplier to just install GAPS on your device if you want certain apps you can not find elseware (DraStic being one of them).

Also, this goes without saying, but the store has to allow emulators in the first place. That actually crosses out a lot of them.

You didn't hear this from me, but there are some workings going on for a massive cross platform appstore. It's being kept under wraps and I doubt even you guys who are probably very up to date have heard about it. It will probably come out in the next year or two at the latest. P.S. I was never here

Why dont you just get the Google Play store? If your device doesn't support it, you can install it using a mod or using the xposed framework all you need to do is root your device. If you are in a country where the play store is restricted, then use a American or British VPN. Thats what a lot of my chinese friends use to get the Play store
