Gaming Handhelds Fueling Hardware Piracy?
14 Oct
Summary
- Anbernic's emulator handhelds normalize hardware-based piracy.
- Illicit game catalogs are delivered via polished consumer products.
- Anbernic nominated for notorious markets review.
The Entertainment Software Association (ESA) has accused Anbernic of normalizing hardware-based piracy. The association's filing to the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) points out that Anbernic's emulator handhelds deliver illicit game catalogs through polished consumer products.
As a result, the ESA is nominating Anbernic and other online marketplaces for inclusion in the USTR's "2026 Review of Notorious Markets for Counterfeiting and Piracy." This action signals ongoing efforts to combat the distribution of pirated content through consumer electronics.
