NGRUS Representative Proposes Legislation to Protect Digital Game Ownership
A new US bill called the Power To The Players Act aims to grant digital game ownership and restrict sudden delistings.
United States Representative Ritchie Torres is set to introduce a new legislative measure titled the Power To The Players Act. The proposed bill focuses on consumer protection by establishing true ownership rights for players who purchase digital video games.
Should the bill pass into law, the Federal Trade Commission would gain the authority to implement specific industry regulations. These rules would target publisher practices regarding software management, preventing companies from revoking digital game licenses without cause.
Additionally, the proposed regulatory framework aims to stop premature server shutdowns and reduce instances where games are suddenly delisted from online storefronts, offering long-term stability for digital libraries.
