U.S. Congressman Introduces 'Power To The Players Act' to Grant Gamers Ownership Rights

U.S. Representative Ritchie Torres (D-NY) has announced the 'Power To The Players Act,' a proposed federal bill aimed at redefining video game purchases as ownership rather than revocable licenses. The bill would mandate that the Federal Trade Commission ensure publishers keep purchased games playable offline even after server shutdowns, and protect players' rights to own, play, and transfer their games. This legislative effort addresses a long-standing consumer advocacy issue within the gaming industry.
