ANBERNIC is quietly removing a controversial extra from its Android handhelds
The company is dropping microSD card bundle options just days after facing accusations of distributing pirated games.
Anbernic has been quietly removing optional microSD card bundles from several of its Android handheld listings on the company's official store. The changes come in the wake of an ESA complaint accusing Anbernic of selling devices bundled with unauthorized games. While Anbernic has not confirmed a direct link between the two, the move could be an attempt to avoid further scrutiny.
The company recently unveiled its Nintendo 3DS-inspired RG DDS handheld, which has sparked controversy due to the allegedly copyrighted games reportedly bundled with the device. Following the complaint, Anbernic has been swiftly removing the microSD card options from its online listings. As noted by Retro Handhelds, several Anbernic handheld listings have lost the choice to purchase extra microSD cards alongside the devices. The 16GB microSD card is still available, as it contains the handheld's stock firmware.
