NY announces game ownership bill requiring ownership rather than licensing

A New York representative has proposed a bill that would require game publishers to provide consumers with ownership of games rather than licensing them. The bill would also require publishers to ensure that games remain functional after their official support ends. This means that players would own the game indefinitely, rather than having it taken away when the publisher stops supporting it. The proposed legislation has sparked debate among gamers and industry professionals, with some seeing it as a victory for consumer rights and others as a threat to the business model of the gaming industry.
