Do US laws address gaming ownership issues

The article focused on the debate over digital game ownership rights in the United States, where Congressman Richie Torres proposed a new bill aimed at regulating the process of purchasing digital games and granting consumers full ownership rights rather than mere licensing. This comes after the shutdown of servers for games like NBA 2K25, which demonstrated that companies can deactivate games at any time. The law proposes that those who pay for the game should own it and have full rights to transfer and use it, with the Federal Trade Commission stepping in to protect players' rights if companies abandon their commitments. The bill has received support from a Pennsylvania senator and seeks to prevent companies from abruptly shutting down games, while ensuring consumer rights—especially as physical copies now make up about 20% of sales, according to Sony. If enacted, the law would have a broad impact by applying to digital copies purchased from U.S. stores, thereby securing consumer ownership rights worldwide.
