US senator proposes bill requiring offline modes or refunds for games
Original: US senator's bill requires game publishers to offer offline mode, or partial refund
A US senator has introduced a bill that would require video game publishers to provide an offline mode for their titles or issue a partial refund to buyers. The measure targets games that stop working when servers shut down, addressing growing concerns that players lose access to games they purchased once online support ends.
Why now: Ongoing frustration among gamers over titles becoming unplayable when publishers shut down online servers has made game preservation a live legislative topic in the US.
