ESA flags retro console maker Anbernic for inclusion on US government's Notorious Market List
The Entertainment Software Association (ESA) has recommended that retro console maker Anbernic be added to the US government's Notorious Market List due to its alleged facilitation of hardware-based piracy. The ESA claims Anbernic normalizes piracy by selling devices preloaded with unauthorized games, shifting monitoring costs to publishers and potentially bypassing safety protections.
