Congress Introduces Bill to Ensure Video Game Ownership

• Rep. Ritchie Torres from New York introduced the Power To The Players Act on 15 October.
• The bill aims to direct the Federal Trade Commission to establish regulations ensuring gamers own the games they purchase.
• Current practices often treat game purchases as licenses rather than ownership, requiring a server connection to play.
• The legislation seeks to protect consumers' rights to own and play games they have bought.
• If passed, the bill would change industry standards regarding game ownership.
