New York rep announces game ownership bill that would require consumer ownership rather than sale of licenses

New York Representative Ritchie Torres has announced the Power To The Players Act, a bill designed to ensure consumer ownership of digital games. This legislation would require the FTC to treat digital game purchases as owned property instead of revocable licenses. Joining Pennsylvania in protecting gamers' rights, the bill mandates that publishers provide an offline mode and the ability to transfer games, ensuring that if consumers pay for a product, they truly own it.
