Is the Android experimental version updated in Google Play randomly or due to critically important updates?

Tbh I’d be hesitant to install anything from Google play as

> These are resources provided by third parties, or managed by some members of the development team. The project does not provide support for these directly.

and who knows who’s managing it. I just download apk from releases page and install via adb. No need to add additional trusted entities in the process. There have been known cases where benign developers accounts were taken over by somebody else during their lapse in activity and malicious updates were pushed, I’d rather not add another app that I have to watch out for.

The Steam version is running 0.G stable last I heard. If you want experimental build get it from github.  
If you’re seeing an experimental version on Google play, be wary.
