Video game ownership bill introduced in Congress
US lawmakers have introduced the Power To The Players Act, a bill that would guarantee that buying a video game means owning it outright rather than merely licensing it. The measure responds to growing concern over publishers delisting titles or shutting servers, leaving paying customers without access. Gamers and consumer advocates have welcomed the proposal, though its prospects in Congress remain uncertain.
Why now: It taps into widespread frustration over digital games being revoked by publishers and stops treating purchases as licenses.
