TechVideo game ownership bill introduced in Congress

New York Representative Ritchie Torres introduced the Power To The Players Act this week. It would direct the Federal Trade Commission to ensure buyers own games rather than merely license them, and require developers to add an offline mode before shutting down supporting servers. NBA 2K25 is cited as an example of a game facing delisting and server shutdown.
