“retrogaming”

a figure which includes the value of the consoles and hundreds of licenses for the pirated programs.
So it’s just 12k consoles with 4000 pirated ROMs inside
Actual value is €300k, not 50 millions
No surprise here. Those were idiots trying to profit from someone else’s labour. It’s not illegal to sell a retro gaming console capable of playing gba games (to name one), what’s illegal, and these imbeciles should have known is to sell them full of licensed games.
Well deserved imho.
Technically, it still is illegal to sell electronics without CE certification
Although a headline like “3 cubic meters of worthless famiclones have been seized” isn’t as strong
I really couldn’t care less that they sell consoles that allow you to play like what 30 year old games. I find it very problematic that apparently these devices weren’t compliant to safety regulations in the EU, but otherwise who cares?
Not having a certification doesn’t mean it’s not compliant.
It’s probably compliant, but they didn’t want to pay €50k to get it certified
If you’ve built it reasonably right, that’s not what it costs.
Important detail I guess. In that case I wouldn’t care at all.
