Proposed 'Power To The Players Act' Aims to Redefine Video Game Ownership

Representative Ritchie Torres (D-NY) has announced the 'Power To The Players Act,' a proposed federal bill that seeks to treat video game purchases as ownership rather than revocable licenses. This legislation would direct the Federal Trade Commission to ensure publishers keep purchased games playable offline even if servers are decommissioned. The announcement has drawn significant attention within the gaming industry and among players, addressing a long-standing debate over digital game rights.
