Video game industry group urges US sanctions on retro console maker Anbernic

A powerful industry association has formally asked the US government to scrutinize Anbernic, a leading Chinese retro console manufacturer, over alleged IP violations. This marks a shift from a long-standing tacit tolerance of the grey market, potentially escalating into trade sanctions. The outcome is uncertain, but if sanctions are imposed, it could set a precedent for enforcement against other Chinese hardware makers.
