Torres introduces bill to make gamers actual owners of purchases
Original: TL;DR: Representative Ritchie Torres has introduced the Power To The Players Act, aiming to ensure video game purchasers
Representative Ritchie Torres has introduced the Power To The Players Act, a bill designed to ensure that people who buy video games own them outright rather than receiving only a revocable license. The legislation would direct the Federal Trade Commission to draw up the regulations needed to enforce those ownership rights.
Why now: Growing frustration over games being revoked or shut down when publishers withdraw licensing access has put digital ownership in the spotlight.
