If a promo requires a google play download, would it also be valid if I rerouted it to Aurora? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Say a friend of mine has one of those dumb mobile game sponsorships, and if he gets 10 people to download the game through the play store, he gets paid. But instead it opens my browser where I tell it to open with Aurora store and download from there. Would that still count as a download with that code or not? Does that make sense?

Or is that still tracking no matter which store it is and where you download is moot?

Depends on what exactly it's tracking. Is it tracking downloads from the Play Store. Installs based on a tracker embedded in the app once installed, or logins through the app. You'll likely have to ask the friend to check the terms of the sponsorship to determine that.
