US lawmaker proposes bill to protect video game ownership

Original: US Rep Announces Congressional Legislation to Protect Video Game Ownership

US Representative Ritchie Torres has announced the 'Power to the Players Act', legislation aimed at ensuring gamers actually own the video games they buy. The move targets practices where digital purchases can be revoked, as seen in past cases of stores shutting down and removing access to purchased titles. Tech and gaming communities are debating whether the bill could meaningfully change digital licensing practices.

Why now: Growing frustration over digital game purchases being revoked, notably after recent store shutdowns, has made consumer ownership rights a hot topic.
