Huge win for gamers and consumer rights!
The California State Assembly just passed AB 1921, the Protect Our Games Act.
It passed on the floor by a vote of 43 to 16.
The bill would force video game companies to give players a heads-up before they shut down the servers for a game.
It would also make them provide a way for people to keep playing afterward, like adding offline mode or letting community servers take over.
Quick recap of what the bill does:
>60-day advance notice before any server shutdown or major service change that would make a game unplayable in its “ordinary use.”
>Companies must then provide a workable solution so players can keep playing, usually an offline mode/patch, community server support, or (in some cases) a full refund.
>Applies to digital games first sold or substantially re-released in California after January 1, 2027.
>Does not affect subscription games, free-to-play titles, or games that are already permanently offline/single-player.
>Enforceable by the Attorney General or district attorneys.
In short: If you buy a game, you should still be able to play it even after the company moves on.
No more “purchase” turning into a rental that expires when the servers die.
