US lawmaker introduces bill to protect video game ownership

Original: US Rep Announces Congressional Legislation to Protect Video Game Ownership

US Representative Ritchie Torres has announced the 'Power to the Players Act', congressional legislation intended to ensure gamers truly own the games they buy. The bill responds to growing concern that digital storefronts and publishers can revoke access to purchased games, as seen in recent shutdowns of online game services. Gamers and consumer advocates are welcoming the proposal.

Why now: Consumers are increasingly worried about losing access to digitally purchased games after publisher shutdowns and licensing disputes.
