Wouldn't this allow users to install Kotor without having to pay for it? This "mod" could be considered piracy if that is the case.

As they mentioned here, apparently it still forces validation and downloading of the .obb files through the app store.

Anyways, the APK will download the OBB files just fine so long as you have a Google Play account with a license if you launch the downloader activity first from an app like Activity Manager or Activity Launcher, then it'll download and launch like normal.

So I think it's the equivalent of the editable executable available for either game already available on this site.

It's just a matter of determining where it came from, attribution, permissions and it it's allowed generally I believe.

No, see my previous post.

It is a modded APK of 1.0.7 (the APK was given to me premade so I don't know how to patch the same changes into a stock APK), however it is only 12mb and does not contain the core game files, only a stub that will only download the OBB files if the user passes a Google Play license check so I fail to see how it would qualify as piracy. It's equivalent to the modded exe distributed on gamescopyworld used for widescreen patching on PC. Like that, it ISN'T a copy of the game and WILL NOT run without legitimate game files provided by the user. 

Like I said before, it only downloads the game files for a user with a valid Google Play license for KOTOR.

From what I remember, the guy on reddit said he got it from some Russian mod APK forum back in 2021 that has since been shutdown. I can throw it in virus total if that makes you feel more comfortable, but I think there's no way to find the author for attribution, not that they'd likely want it. They didn't make or add any of their own files like in most mods, just edited the existing ones in Android Studio.

As I said, reach out to an admin or moderator and see what they say about it, perhaps ask in the kotor modding discord or wait until one sees this post.

It's not about feeling more comfortable, besides, when it comes to viruses these days, they can be hiding in your UEFI and all sorts, so I don't think I would trust any scan of APKs ever, perhaps go that extra step and compare the modified APK to the vanilla APK and figure out what is actually different so that you can be sure, as well as reach out to an admin or moderator.
