U.S. Representative Ritchie Torres announced the Power to the Players Act, legislation intended to protect consumers' ownership of purchased video games and their continued playability, even when publishers shut down the servers games depend on. The bill responds to growing frustration over digital games becoming unplayable after studios withdraw support. Gamers and consumer advocates have long pushed for legal guarantees that buying a game means keeping access to it.

Why now: Gamers are increasingly angry about publishers disabling servers and killing purchased games, making legal protection efforts newsworthy.
