US Politician Issues New Official Statement on Digital Game Ownership

The conversation surrounding digital ownership of video games has continued to heat up, even reaching the Congressional level, with Democratic United States Representative Ritchie Torres of New York proposing a new Power to the Players Act to protect consumers from having the games they paid for being permanently disabled or removed from their libraries. Audiences have long debated the difference between renting and owning digital-only games, and the big announcement by Sony to end production of physical game discs has reignited a demand for legislation to protect players as a digital-focused future approaches.
