Google Plays Monopoly Wrong

Android Police

We enter into December with an Android Police podcast that tackles the big issues in our industry. And no, there isn't a hint of punchline there. Casetify is accused of plagiarism in its churn-and-burn quest to profit from phone cases while Google is accused of planting stories about how unsafe Fortnite is while actually failing to address how bad gaming on Android really is. Throw in a dose of OnePlus 12 pre-launch hype (don't fall for it) and a dash of the impossible premium connected TV stick that's actually good and you have a jam-packed show.
