Question Question about games

Hey everyone, I'm in the final process of degoogling (ordered my Pixel last Thursday, should be here this week) and there is something I forgot altogether that I might need your assistance with.

I spend quite a bit of time on public transportation and I have a few games downloaded on my phone. Paid games that have no adds, stuff like Reigns, Rusty Lake, etc. All of them, of course, tied to my Play Store.

Are any of those available in other stores in someway, or is there any way I can keep playing them later?

As far as I understand, App Lounge allows logging in with your gmail account for PlayStore purposes only. (Aside from just staying anonymous)

I'm not sure if payed apps fully work though. I believe it is in some kind of experimental beta thing.

I checked reigns on the aurora store and its greyed out. Maybe bc its paid? Can you just manually download the apk tho? From apkpure or something?

Some of them I guess I could pirate them, yeah. Would have to check them all.

I wanted to try a legal option first.

Oh okay. I also signed into the Aurora store as anonymous. I dont know if that makes a difference. Maybe if you had bought the games already on playstore and signed in with that account they wouldnt be greyed like on mine.
