US lawmaker proposes bill granting real ownership of video games
Original: US Rep proposes bill to give video game buyers "ownership," not "a license"
A US Representative has introduced a bill intended to give people who buy video games actual ownership of their copies, rather than the limited software license that publishers currently grant. The measure targets the industry practice of treating purchases as revocable access, an issue that has drawn attention after store shutdowns left buyers unable to play games they paid for.
Why now: Gamers are increasingly frustrated that digital purchases can be revoked, and a legislative challenge to licensing practices is a significant development.
