Official Proposes 60-Day Warning Rule for Game Server Shutdowns
Original: Caring for Gamers: Official Proposes Obligating Gaming Companies to Warn of Server Shutdowns 60 Days in Advance and Issue Refunds
A government official has proposed a new rule that would require gaming companies to notify players at least 60 days before shutting down game servers and to issue refunds for purchased content that becomes unusable. The initiative is aimed at protecting gamers who lose access to paid games and in-game items when online titles are switched off.
Why now: Growing frustration among players over games and purchases lost when publishers abruptly shut down online servers.
