US Representative Ritchie Torres from New York City announced that he will introduce the “Power To The Players Act” citing that digital video games are a rental disguises as a sale🚀
He explained: "When you pay for a game, you should own it.
Consumers must have the right to own, the right to play, and the right to transfer the games they buy.
A game that can be taken away the moment a company pulls the plug is not a purchase. It is a rental disguised as a sale.”
If it is passed into law, the bill will protect our ability to own and play purchased games.

It’s about time the firm hand of the law took a stand towards the normalized exploitation of gamers under the excuse of “the company has the right to revoke access at any time for any reason without compensation” and actually preserved players’ rights to own the games they buy, and to be compensated in case said game was removed or account was disabled.
There can never be full trust in digital games when you aren’t even able to own what you’re buying.
In any case, physical media must be preserved, because it will always be the only and most reliable way to play games and have agency over their usage, and they must contain the ENTIRE game, whether on one disc and four even.
NO DISC 💿 NO BUY
