New York lawmaker proposes bill requiring true game ownership
Original: NY announces game ownership bill requiring ownership rather than licensing
A New York representative has announced a bill that would require video game purchases to count as consumer ownership rather than the sale of a limited license. The legislation would also compel publishers to keep games functional after ending official support. If passed, it could reshape how digital games are sold, challenging industry practices around digital storefronts and server shutdowns.
Why now: Gamers are increasingly frustrated with games being delisted or made unplayable, and the bill directly challenges industry licensing practices.
