A U.S. congressman wants to change how we legally โownโ video games.
Rep. Ritchie Torres has announced plans to introduce the Power To The Players Act, a bill that would direct the FTC to create rules protecting consumers who buy video games.

>The right to keep playing games after online servers are shut down, through an offline mode
>The right to transfer or resell games they own
Torres argues that if a company can take a game away simply by shutting down its servers, then the consumer didnโt really buy the game in the first place.
Torres also hopes the legislation could eventually establish a precedent for ownership rights across other parts of the digital economy:

Watch James Hetfield's right hand.
The "Master of Puppets" riff is all downstrokes, every one, at full speed, and he's been doing it for 40 years.
Metallica's engine isn't the solos. It's this.
This 1974 Volkswagen Beetle had a trailer add-on that provides a small living space that can attach to the vehicle.
Bonus: it had a maneuverability of 360ยฐ and a good aerodynamics.
