The site will no longer cover ModRetro products due to their recent association with Anduril Industries, a defense contractor linked to arms manufacturing, which the authors find morally unacceptable, marking a significant shift in their coverage policy.
ModRetro, founded by Oculus co-founder Palmer Luckey, has released a limited-edition retro handheld made from the same metal as Anduril's attack drones, priced at $349.99, sparking criticism for its militaristic associations and perceived fetishization of military technology in the gaming community.
ModRetro's FPGA-based Game Boy Color clone, the Chromatic, is back in stock with new color options and software updates, including a re-release of Sabrina The Teenage Witch game and upcoming partnerships with major gaming companies like Ubisoft and Atari, along with new accessories and a firmware tool for game updates.
