US Rep. Ritchie Torres introduces the Power To The Players Act to protect video game ownership

US Rep. Ritchie Torres plans to introduce the Power To The Players Act in Congress, directing the FTC to write rules protecting video game ownership. The bill would require companies selling digital games to grant more than a license that can expire at any time, and games with online features would need offline modes that still work after servers shut down. Torres said consumers should have the right to own, play, and transfer the games they buy, calling the bill a restoration of the historical norm.
