    Reminder that the ESA represents businesses that have a direct financial incentive to do stuff like this.

    They do not represent consumers nor do they side with them, literally ever.

    I bought a Miyoo Mini Plus a few years ago, but I was shocked that the SD card it came with was preloaded full of ROMs. I’m even more shocked that they’ve all gotten away with it for so long, this was a lawsuit waiting to happen. Should’ve been common sense to only ship a blank SD and let the user supply their own ROMs.

      And most know to toss the usually fake SD card that comes with bad ROMs anyway. And if they don’t it’s the first advice they’re given when they start asking.

      So there no value in shipping it.

      Yeah this does seem like they’re asking for trouble, literally selling a card full of pirated games seems risky

      The ESA has asked the USTR to classify ANBERNIC as a “superfake,” implying that it sells high-quality counterfeit products

      This just sounds like an endorsement though!
