Engadget Podcast: Why are Apple and Epic fighting?

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links.

This week, Cherlynn and Devindra chat with Mike Futter, author of the GameDev Business Handbook and co-host of the Virtual Economy podcast, about the ongoing legal battle between Epic Games and Apple. What does it mean for the app economy? And is Apple actually a monopoly in the app world? Also, they chat about Intel's new 11th-gen H-series processors, NVIDIA's RTX 3050 and 3050 Ti on notebooks, and HTC Vive's Pro 2 and Focus 3 VR headsets.
