NY announces game ownership bill requiring ownership rather than licensing

Automated excerpt

Ritchie Torres of New York's 15th congressional district has introduced the Power To The Players Act. Ritchie Torres isn’t the first to fight for gamers, as Pennsylvania state senator John Kane also recently introduced the Protect Our Games Act, requiring publishers to provide an offline mode, community servers, or a 25% minimum refund.
